Once the batter is smooth and lump free, cover it up with a plastic wrap or a tight lid and leave it to rise.
After 45 minutes to 1 hour, the batter would have doubled or almost tripled in size.
Preheat the Oil to 350°F and scoop a little bit of dough just like the size of a Table Tennis ball. (You can make it bigger or smaller if you wish) and drop inside the oil.

Serve hot or warm with your favorite drink. Enjoy!
