- You are required to saute them in between in order to avoid it sticking. It will take around 15 minutes to cook properly. When it is crisp and brown remove from the heat and keep aside.
- Place a kadai in a gas and heat in a medium flame. Add remaining oil along with ginger garlic paste and sliced onion. Saute nicely and let it fry until golden.
