Dear Arthi
How are you? back in India , i am going through missed blogs. I love Mung dal fitters. The use of Dhania seed is a great idea, I must try it ASAP. Can I add 1 tbsp of rice flour? One of my southern foodie friends had advised to put a dash of rice flour in Medu Vada mix to make it surface crispy. Shall I add here too? I normally dont change original recipe in my 1st attempt and need your permission to do so..ha ha
Have a nice weekend
Aarthi
@Ushnish..Yes u can add rice flour, it will give u a nice crispy exterior..Good Luck
Gayathri Kumar
