Notes

  • firstly, make sure to add water in add batches while kneading the dough. if the dough is too tight, nippatu will turn hard, and if it is too soft then it will absorb oil.
  • also, increase the amount of chilli powder to make it spicy and masaledar.
  • additionally, fry on low flame else it will not be crispy from the inside.
  • finally, Nippatu recipe tastes great when served with evening tea.
