Special Note by chef:
Use coarse besan for fulwadi dough. Mix oil and masala until the sugar is completely dissolved. Papad khar gives a crispy texture to fulwadi; you can use ¼ tsp baking soda instead of it. Add water gradually and knead a soft dough for fulwadi. Rest the dough for 30-40 minutes. Fry fulwadi on a medium flame. Do not fry it on high flame.
