Critical Success Points

  • Grinding the suji finely for smooth texture.
  • Properly tempering spices without burning.
  • Kneading dough while mixture is warm.
  • Resting the dough for at least 5-7 minutes.
  • Frying at correct oil temperature for crispiness.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter—use a splatter guard and keep children away from the stove.
  • Let fried sticks cool completely before storing to prevent burns and sogginess.
  • Dispose of used oil safely; do not pour down the drain.
