Expert Tips

• I used a small shallow curved kadai to fry so fried only one at a time.
• If you want to make 3-4 kandarappams at a time then use a wide bottomed kadai.
• While grinding the soaked ingredients add very little water as after adding jaggery it will loosen the batter so add accordingly.If the batter is too loose then it may drink lots of oil.
