  • Chill the dough for minimum of 30 minutes for easy rolling.
  • Don't over fill the sweet, else it may leach out when frying.
  • If you are using
  • , add ¼ cup of sugar in the filling.
  • Fry the sweet on low heat. If you fry on high heat it will get dark colour when frying but the sweet will not be cooked properly.
