Notes
Always try a small sample before making entire dough,After frying the first batch, taste them..add salt if needed..
Oil should be hot while frying murukkus else they will be soggy
When the murukkus r fried, they will start floating n the oil will stop completely bubbling..at this stage take out the murukkus else they wont be crispy if u take them out before…
