Making the pholourie is tricky, you can do this with two spoons, the traditional way of making Pholourie it this method. Grab some batter in your hand
turn your fist upside down so that
the batter falls through your thumb and pointer finger, here is a picture above to help guide you.
When you drop the batter into the oil, it should immediately pop up, if it doesn't then your oil is not hot enough. Turn the Pholourie balls while they are frying so that they can evenly brown.
Continue this process until all your batter is used up.
So light and fluffy!!
