How to Make Cashew Drumstick Leaves Crispies

• Make a coarse powder of the garlic, clove and cinnamon
• Mix the flours with all the ingredients (except oil for deep frying) along with a tbsp of hot oil (usually water is not required to prepare dough as the moisture content of the onions is enough).
• Check salt and drop very small portions of dough into hot oil, with fingers.
• Deep fry the crispies till they turn light golden brown in colour.
• Remove and place them on a kitchen towel.
• Serve hot with a cup of hot tea.
