Sorry guys,
Have had the fulwadi recipe for a while but didnt post - I am not sure tho whether the recipe by itself is going to help. You will need to practice this a little bit. Especially so without the proper tools. The main tool that you require is something that is called a jharo in gujarati. It is a big round shaped pan sort of shape with a long handle and its got equal sized holes in it - around 5 mms to a cms each. Supreme HQ says as a replacement one can also use an aluminium plate that has holes in it. Most desi households should have this kinda plate which they use to cover rice while cooking it in pressure cooker. Extreme care must be taken while using this though.
Anyway here goes..
1 cup besan - chanaa aataa - if available then use the kind that is slightly coarse and not too fine.
3/4 cup oil
1/2 cup dahi/yogurt
1/4 cup sugar (when u r gujju u add sugar as simple as that - lesser mortals may think about the quantity <!--emo&

mirchi, salt, dhanaa (dunno what its called in english), til.
limboo naa fool - not sure what it is called in english either - its a crystalline powder - usually added in VERY small quatities for sour taste - add only if u like the sour taste.
Blend oil and dahi in mixer..
Take the above contents and prepare the dough. The texture of the dough should be somewhere between the one you prepare for chapati and the one you prepare for bhajia/mangode/pakora..
If the dough becomes too hard like chapati dough one can add some milk to the dough to fix it.
Next heat up some oil in your frying container. Take the jharo or the plate with holes in it - put some dough on top of it and press the dough just like you would shred cheese ?
Once again be careful while doing this especially so when using alternate tools - newbies tend to forget this and get hurt by oil, warns Shreematiji.
