  • Powder them and allow them to cool.
  • Mix together the powdered rice, powdered dals, cumin seeds, asafoetida powder, chilly powder, butter and salt. Do not add water.
  • Take a little of this mixture and add water to it to get a dough like consistency.
  • Heat oil in a kadai or a pan.
  • :- To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a pinch of dough into it. If it sinks, the oil isn`t hot enough. If the dough springs to the top with bubbles all around it, then the oil is ready.
