Instructions
- In a mixing bowl pour maida, suji, yogurt, chilly, salt, baking soda and some water.

- Heat up oil to medium-high heat. Drop small ball size dumplings in the oil.
- Turn them occasionally till they become golden brown.
- Serve them with chutney or sauce of your choice.
Notes
1. While making batter mix little water at a time as we are looking for thick batter.
2. Don’t make the batter ahead of time otherwise pakodas will absorb lot of oil while frying.
3. Be sure that oil is not very hot while frying the pakodas otherwise they will not cook from inside.
