Hi,
ReplyDeleteI have made a similar recipe before and it was rather crumbly. Do you use a bit of oil when mixing the ingredients to help bind them together?
Mayuri,
ReplyDeleteNo, I did not use oil. Try adjusting the usage of breadcrumbs(the mixture should be more like dough).Avoid deep frying. Hope this helps!
Loved making this one!! Enjoyed eating them too :)
