Kunukku recipe, Adai kunukku recipe, Lentil fritters recipe

Kunukku recipe a popular snack made with leftover adai maavu(adai batter).I usually make thin adai batter so as to make crispy adai dosa so couldn’t use the adai batter for this kunukku recipe.I made fresh batter for making this kunukku and it came out so crispy and tasty.

I followed a recipe from my friend and its a no onion recipe, but you can add chopped onions if you prefer.She used to say as kunukku looks tiny,chubby  and cute they use this term ‘kunukku’ for pampering small babies and kids 🙂
