Mix well. set aside for five minutes.
Heat the cooking oil to the temperature of deepfry in a pan.
Drop the irregular pieces of the dough by pressing the piece gently into flat texture.
Allow them to deep fry. The onion pieces get golden brown colour. That is the perfect time to take out fritters from the hot oil.
