• Add the coconut shreds and mix for 10 seconds..
• Add the cashew pieces and mix..

note: the batter should be very thick ( If you think it is light, add some flour to make it thick )

Step 2) Heat enough oil for deep frying

Step 3) Once the oil is hot ( test with a small drop of batter – if it sizzles and rises up – the oil is ready ), reduce the heat to medium. Pour 2 Tbsp of batter in hot oil ( fry 4 – 5 at a time ).

Step 4) Once the bottom-side is golden brown, flip and fry the other side until golden..

Step 5) When both the sides are beautifully browned, take out to a kitchen tissue..
