    BATTER: mix the flour with all the above Batter ingredients and beat thoroughly with your hand. it should be thick enough for you to be able to pick without it flowing down between your fingers, but not so thick that it's a dough. not runny yet not too thick.
  • 3

  • 4
    heat oil, then pick small portions and drop in the hot oil, then immediately lower the heat and fry on very low heat, stirring the kaimatis (balls) continuously so that they colour on all sides and get super crunchy.
  • 5
