Preparation
1 cup gram flour
1 cup water
1 tbsp ghee
A pinch of salt
Red, green and yellow food colour
Oil to fry
¼ cup peanuts
¼ cup roasted gram
¾ cup sugar
¼ cup water
1 tsp cardamom powder
Preparation
Sift the gram flour so that there won’t be any lumps
Pour water slowly and mix into loose batter
Into it add ghee, salt and a few drops of yellow food colour
Separate this batter into two parts
Add green food colour in one and red in another (adding colour is optional)
Heat oil in a pan
Lower the flame when the oil is very hot
Pour the batter into the hot oil through a kannappa (skimmer)
The batter would drop into the oil as droplets
