- Now take a lemon sized batter at a time and drop it gently into the hot oil and repeat the same for the remaining batter.
- Flip it between and take out the punugulu from the oil once the sizzle sound off and place it over the paper towel to remove any excess oil
- The instant, fluffy and crispy “PUNUGULU” is ready to serve.
