How it's used
This snack is a traditional item often found in older neighborhoods or specific regional stalls. It is distinct from other flour-based snacks due to its specific deep-frying method which creates a crispy exterior and a fragrant, chewy center. It is frequently associated with nostalgic street food culture rather than modern restaurant menus.
