Notes: 

• When you start mixing flour and corn flour add little bit at a time more flour will ruin the taste.
• While mixing the vegetable mixture do not squeeze the mixture too much as it might become very loose.
• Fry a few vegetable balls at a time, on a medium flame, until golden brown from all sides.
• It is very important to have the oil at the right temperature while frying. If the oil is too hot, the balls will burn from outside and remain undercooked from inside and if it is too low it will become more greasy and oily.
• As cornflour does not dissolve in water, stir the mixture well before adding it .
• Add the cornflour-water mixture slowly do not add too much at a time you can always add more later.
