Crispy Pungulu

This one i borrowed from another fellow food blogger (forgot her name)... all i knew was this had to be a perfect teatime snack especially in rainy weather and chilly winters.. And this being my post after a really loong time i made sure i posted something really yummy and easy to make as well.

Dosa's are always a part of daily breakfast menu's in every south Indian household and especially with kids around one does have the batter stored in refrigerator almost daily (at least i do, having a always dosa lover 2.9 year old toddler) so one day i made use of this batter for something else other than dosa...

Preparation time: 10min
Cooking time: 20min
Serves: 4

Ingredients:

1. Dosa batter 3-4 cups
2. Rice flour 2-3 handfuls (look at the consistency after mixing)
3. Onion 2 (optional)
4. Green chillies 4-5
5. Coriander leaves
6. Salt a little bit (because you would have already added some to the dosa batter)
7. Oil for deep frying
8. Jeera seeds 1tsp


Method:

1. If you've stored dosa batter in refrigerator, let it come to room temperature.
2. Chop onions, green chillies and coriander leaves and keep aside.
3. Add rice flour slowly to the dosa batter and mix well leaving behind no lumps.
4. The batter should come to idli batter consistency.
5. Now add onions, green chillies and coriander leaves along with some jeera seeds.
6. Heat oil in a kadhai and pour the batter with spoon or hand.. may not be round exactly, but who cares..
7. Once they turn brown and fried remove them on absorbent paper and serve hot with chutney or tomato sauce..


P.S: Got to know later that this is a street food made in Vishakapatnam.
