Rava (sooji) 4 tbsp

Soda 1/4 tsp

Salt as per taste

Oil to deep fry

Method:-

1. Take thick dosa batter add zeera,sooji, salt and soda.The batter should be like vada batter very thick.

Serve punugulu with any podi (chitla podi,karapak podi ect..).But my kids ate this with tomato sauce.Onions,ginger and green chillies add more flavour, because my kids don't like i didnt use it.Sooji makes punugulu more crispy.
