- Addition of spices , herbs , veggies is all your choice. You can go crazy with the filling and do plus or minus from the above mentioned list. If you want you can do plain sweet potato filling too .
- The final dough should not be watery type . else it will be oo soft and drink oil . In that case you can add some bread or cornfllour to absorb excess moisture .
- You can either deep fry them or shallow fry them on tawa. Both taste equally good.But if you are doing in large quantity , better to deep fry as it gets over equally .
