Crispy Andhra Punugulu with Idly Dosa Batter:

Recipe Type: Snack
Cuisine: Andhra
Author: Cherie
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Total time: 20 mins
Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• Idly batter – 1 cup
• Dosa batter – ½ cup
• Salt as per taste
• Cumin – 1 tbsp
• Oil for deep frying

Optional (as per taste):

• Finely chopped green chillies – 4
• Finely chopped onion – 1 big
• Chopped curry leaves – few
• Chopped coriander – 1 tbsp

Instructions:

• In a mixing bowl, take both batters and mix well.
• Add salt, cumin. Also, add the onions and other ingredients mentioned if you need them.
• Check for the consistency. If it is thin, the punugulu will absorb a lot of oil.
• In that case, add some maida to correct the consistency.
• Take oil for deep frying in a thick bottomed Kadai.
• Drop small dumplings with three fingers into the hot oil.
• Fry till golden brown and transfer to the kitchen tissue to absorb excess oil.

Notes:

* The idli dosa batter should be thick. Adding more maida to make it thick would give the required taste and texture. So make sure the batter itself is thick. I generally grind both the batters thick so that it can be made thin if needed.

** The Andhra punugulu with this batter will be crisp outside and soft inside.

*** The ravva in the idly batter will enhance the texture of the punugulu and gives the crispness to them.
