- Add 4 tablespoons of besan and a little less than half cup of bread crumbs or rice flour to it and mix all the ingredients to make soft dough.
- Now make patty-shaped balls out of the dough and leave for 15 minutes. Cover the bowl with a wet cloth.
- Take a kadhai, pour enough amount of oil and deep fry the patties.
- You can also shallow fry it in a frying pan. Fry one side, when it gets brown-ish in colour, flip it and fry the other side.
- Crispy dal tadka patties are ready to be served.
