and mix well. Take care that no lumps are there..
4. Prepare the steamer with water. Grease a flat vessel
of the steamer and pour the batter into the vessel. Steam them for about 20-25
minutes on high heat. Or grease a microwavable container and
pour the batter into it. Microwave cook the batter for 5-7 minutes (Microwave
settings may vary and mine took 5 minutes)
5.
Remove and insert
a toothpick into it to check if it is done. If the stick comes out clean then
it is done. So u can now let it cool for a minute or two and then cut them into
square shaped pieces.
6.
Heat oil in a
deep frying pan. Deep fry the pieces in hot oil. Remove when golden brown and
crisp. Serve hot as an appetizer.
Note:
People who are health conscious, can have it steamed itself. You don’t
have to fry it. Both tastes good.
