Tips & Secrets
- Drying the dal completely before frying is the absolute secret to achieving a non-oily crunch.
- Using a mesh strainer is mandatory to prevent the tiny grains from dispersing and burning in the wok.
- Ensure the dal floats on the oil surface; this is the indicator that all internal moisture has evaporated.
- Toss with salt while warm to ensure a superior seasoning that doesn't just fall to the bottom.
