Increase the heat and fry again until crispy and golden brown. This double-frying technique locks in crunch and enhances texture.
Step 4: Prepare Sauce
In a pan, heat 1 tbsp of Purti Sunlife Refined Sunflower Oil. Add garlic and green chilli; sauté until aromatic. Add ketchup, chilli sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and pepper. Cook until thick and glossy.
