Deep fried Rice Balls | Indian Snack Item

Not very often you find an Andhra girl making her

rice mushy. It did happen yesterday and my rice turned out quite mushy

than I could eat. After carefully taking out a layer of the top rice, I was left with some

soft rice. Though i don't prefer, I decided to throw it away. While i was

debating to do that, i heard the hungry kids asking for something yummy. In a

flash I decided to deep fry my rice just the same way I do the punugulu with

the dosa batter. They turned out pretty good.

These are not just tasty

but a very fast dish/snack to make provided you have some rice at home. I used

very less oil for deep frying, that's the reason these balls are so tiny. here

goes the recipe-
