Notes

  • Add water gradually to prevent lumps.

  • Cook on medium heat for evenly cooked bites.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain crispiness.
  • Reheat leftovers in an air fryer or dry skillet for best results.
  • Toast cumin and coriander for 30 seconds before mixing for extra flavor depth.
