Hi Aarthi ,
I am a regular follower of your blog. Most of your recipes have made their way to my kids' lunch boxes and they love it . Thank you for the step by step easy recipes .
I have a doubt . What do you do with the left over oil . I keep myself away from deep frying as I am not sure how to do it without wasting the oil or reheating it . Any advice
Hi, pardon me for the questiob. The coconut chutney does not need to be cooked after grinding?
no you dont need to cook coconut chutney
Can we use whole wheat flour instead of maid.
Thanks for this wonderful recipe. Will try it soon.Do we have to keep it for some time before frying the goli bajes.
Regards,
Shobha.
