Deep Fried Batter Balls

Makes - 5-6 Servings

All purpose flour - 1 cup
Rice flour - ½ cup
Baking soda - a pinch
Yogurt - ½ cup
Onions - ¼ chopped
Green chillies - 3 chopped
Curry leaves - 3-4 (for added flavor, optional)
water - to make thick batter
Salt - to taste
Oil - for deep frying

Heat oil in a pan to about 350 F.

Take all the ingredients in a bowl, add water and mix together to form a thick batter. You want the batter thick enough to be able to scoop with a spoon.

First, test oil by dropping few drops of batter in the frying pan. Taste to make sure it is fully cooked.

Now, simply mound the batter on a teaspoon and drop the batter into the hot oil.

Fry in small batches in oil over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes or until a deep golden brown.

Drain on paper towel and serve immediately with tomato ketchup.
