Keep on mixing until a sticky and thick consistency is obtained. Make sure not to make it too watery.
Now, add a pinch of baking soda and mix again.
Take a taste test, and add if salt is needed.

Next, take a deep frying pan or a kadhai.
Add refined oil in a generous amount and let it heat until it smokes a little.
Take small portions of the mixture using your fingers and drop them gently into the oil.
Keep the flame on medium and fry them until golden brown in color.
Stir and turn them on all sides occasionally for better cooking. Be gentle.
Fry them in batches and transfer them onto a kitchen tissue-covered plate. This will soak off the excess oil.
