• Heat oil in a kadai, check the oil adding small piece of the dough. If it is hot, when you drop the dough piece it should not sink and come up immediately.  Now  slowly slide these into hot oil in batches of  2 or 4.  Fry it till crispy and golden brown.   Drain it into a paper towel.  Repeat the process with remaining rice dough.
