4. 3 Tb.Sp of rice flour
5. 20 black olives (Canned olives)

  • Chop the onions and fresh coriander and curry leaves.
  • Grind ginger , olives, green chilli , soaked channa gram and coconut into a fine paste.
  • 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.
  • Place the fried olive gundus in a tissue paper to remove the extra oil.

Variations to the above recepie: 1. You can avoid the all purpose flour and use urad dal flour instead. It turns out a bit soft versus the crispy nature of the latter option.
