  4. Reduce the heat to medium, take a little prepared pakoda batter and drop it into the oil as shown in the picture below. Do not make balls or shape it, this pakoda should be shapeless.
  5. Fry until golden brown, stirring in between. Remove it from the oil and drain excess oil on a colander or paper towel.
