Chef's Tips
Ram Ladoo is a quintessential Delhi winter chaat — the grated radish on top is non-negotiable.
The batter must be coarse, not smooth — the texture creates crispy, holey fritters.
Fry on medium heat for a cooked interior and crispy exterior.
Serve immediately — ram ladoos lose their crunch within minutes.
