Heat oil in a broad pan and Place acchapam mould in oil, Now remove the immersed iron mould from hot oil and dip half way in the batter and deep fry in hot oil. Now shake the mould gently and the cookie will slide away. Fry them in low to medium heat and fry only three or four at the time don’t cluster with too many. Fry until crisp and light brown from both sides.Repeat the same with the rest of batter. Re-heat the iron mould into hot oil immerse in batter and then deep fry the cookie.
