FAQS
Can I use frozen corn for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen corn. Just make sure to thaw and drain it properly before using.
Can I skip rice flour?

What oil is best for frying bhajiyas?
Any neutral-flavored oil like sunflower or vegetable oil works well for frying bhajiyas.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
