  • In a bowl mix rice flour, rava and all purpose flour. Add cumin seeds ,vinegar and salt to this mix.
  • Add the paste into the bowl to make the dough ready to be fried in hot oil. [consistency of Dough should be as that of the Chapati dough]
  • Make small round balls of size as marbles and deep fry them. Once they turn golden brown they are ready to be taken off the flame.
