💡 Pro Tips
To make the fritters extra crispy, coat them with a little cornstarch before frying. Don't overcrowd the pan, fry in batches if necessary. For an extra spicy kick, add more red chili powder or use hot sauce in place of ghee. Store leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
