## Notes
* firstly, maida can be replaced with wheat flour for a healthy alternative.
* also, do not roast spices as we will be deep-frying and double roasting spices may give burnt flavour.
* additionally, fry on low flame to get a crispy and crunchy bite.
* finally, **bhakarwadi recipe** tastes great when the sweet, spicy and tangy flavour is balanced.
