  3. Cover the mixture with a lid and let it set for 30 minutes.

  4. After 30 minutes, beat the flour mixture and add fennel seeds. The batter should be thick enough to form a pua.

Cooking

  2. Once the oil is hot, take some batter in your hand and carefully drop it into the heated oil, similar to making pakoras.
