FAQs
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of gram flour in the fritters?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for gram flour, but it may slightly alter the texture. Gram flour adds a crispier texture to the fritters.

To make the fritters gluten-free, use chickpea flour (besan) instead of wheat flour and ensure that the Maggi noodles you use are gluten-free.
