Enjoyy these delicious,crunchy n spicy kodubales as your tea time snack 

Note:

1) Knead the kobubale dough well to avoid breaking while rolling and while frying.
2) Dont make a huge batch of kodubale, as they would dry out n break while frying. So ideally make about 8-10 rings, deep fry. While frying , simultaneously you can do your next batch of rings.
3) Check the oil readiness by dropping a small ball of dough into the oil. If It come's up immediately then this shows that oil has attained the right temperature and you can gently slide the kodubales.
4) While dropping the prepared rings, the flame should be high,once they float to to top,reduce the flame to medium or medium low flame and fry till they become crisp.The secret of getting crunchy kodbales lies here.
5) In case you are making them in large quantity , dont add water to whole mix. Instead divide into parts, add water only to 1st part ,knead well and do rings.Once the 1st part is over ,add water to next part. This way kodbales will not turn soggy.
6) To get more chrispy rings, 1-2 tbsp fine sooji can be added.
