2. Put 4-5 tsp of oil in a wide pan.
3. Once the oil is hot enough, add grinded powder from step 1 and roast it on very low flame for 15-20 min or till it dries out.
4. On the other hand, heat enough oil to deep fry in a deep frying pan.
5. Once the oil reaches the frying temperature, fry the vankaya cubes till they are crunchy, crispy and golden brown.
6. Finally add crispy vankaya bites to the powder from step 3, mix it well and store in a air tight container.
