NOTES

No worry if the soaking time goes beyond 3 to 4 hours. You can soak them overnight too. As it’s an evening snack, so we soak it in the mid of the day.
While dropping batter in oil, wetting your fingers is important otherwise batter will stick to your hands.
Bhalle are light yellowish in colour and not deep golden brown. That’s why it is suggested to take them out of oil before they attain dark colour.
