FAQS

  1. Can I use any other flour instead of suji?

    Suji is essential for this recipe as it provides the desired crispiness. Substituting it with other flours may alter the texture.

  2. How can I store the suji bites?

    Store the suji bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

  3. Can I skip the magic masala?

    The magic masala adds a unique flavor to the suji bites. While you can skip it, the bites may taste less flavorful.

  4. Can I bake the suji bites instead of frying?

    Yes, you can bake them at 180°C until crispy, but frying gives them a better texture.

  5. Are suji bites gluten-free?

    No, suji is made from wheat and contains gluten.
