5. Add the Arbi and fry until golden brown.
6. Serve warm with Rice, Rasam/Sambar or even with curd rice.

Notes

1. If in case you feel the Arbi is over cooked. Keep it in refrigerator for sometime and then cut it into pieces.
2. You can also add 1 or 2 tablespoon of rice flour along with corn flour for extra crispiness.
3. You can also deep fry instead of shallow frying.
4. Increase or decrease chilli powder to suit your preferences.
