VENNUNDALU (SAVORY)

I have already posted the recipe for the vennundalu…….sweet version. For those who like the savory snacks, I bring the savory version of vennundalu. They also form the best combination to the sweet vennundalu.  Here I have made the cube shaped vennundalu, as available in sweet shops. The shape doesn’t matter, if you like you can make them round too.
