Hi sharmi,
I tried this today.i used dry corn flakes.maize poha is written in the pack.I had some problem with baking.at 350 Fahrenheit I tried to bake these but they were getting burnt after 5 min and bfore that time they are not fried properly.and also they do not look like deep fried ones.i then deep fried other things.yours look perfectly done.could you help me ?where did I go wrong?
SHARMILEE J
Did you use the dry cornflakes which is meant for frying then that should work fine…but again check ur oven settings n timing as I always say each oven is different.
