Take a large spoon and when frying pan is hot carefully scoop Gram flour mix and make small to medium size balls in the frying pan.

Be careful the oil is not too hot or you’ll burn it. You want the balls nice and golden brown.

Take the balls out and soak in hot water for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Carefully squeeze the excess water from the balls without breaking them.
