Remove the skin of the Taal

The taal typically has 3 partitions, each having a seed. Separate the partitions

Take a partition at a time in a bowl, add some water and kneed the tal. This will make the pulp from the fruit loose and easy to separate from the fibers and seed

Scrape out the pulp completely from the seeds using a sieve or a grater. Pour this thick pulp into a mixing bowl.

Add the grated coconut, flour (atta), suji and sugar making a paste of medium consistency. It should not be too watery.

 Take some oil in a frying pan. Heat the oil properly and then drop the mixture in the oil in the form of balls. Deep fry till golden brown.
