3.Mix flour,salt,black pepper powder and add water to it to form very thin consistency batter. Now, dip the
balls into the batter.

4. Now roll the wet ball in bream crumbs so ball is coated with bread crumbs completely.Press crumbs on ball to make sure all bread crumbs stick properly to ball, remove excess crumbs if required.
Repeat step 3 and 4 for all balls. Then let the balls sit for 15 minutes.

5. Now heat oil and on high flame itself, fry all balls till golden brown. Do not reduce heat, as if you reduce heat, balls will consume more oil.
