Ingredients

  • 1/4 kg White radish
  • as needed Salt
  • Rice flour (as needed to bind)
  • Oil (as needed, for frying)
  • 7 Green chili (to grind)
  • 2 Tablespoons Chopped coriander leaves (to grind)
  • 1 pinch Salt (to grind; grind without adding much water)

Instructions

  1. Wash the radish well and grate it on a fine grater.
  2. Mix in the ground paste, salt, and enough rice flour to form a ball.
  3. Shape small balls, flatten thin on a damp cloth, and deep-fry in oil.
  4. Don't fry more than 3 or 4 at a time.
  5. Once the bottom is cooked, flip and once it's crisp all over, remove, drain the oil well, and serve hot.
  6. Note: fry this batter as soon as it's mixed. Don't let it sit for long.
