Drop balls in hot oil and at once reduce the flame to low.

 [ Don’t add just very few balls as it may cause bursting .  Adding more number of seedai at once will drop the temperature of oil quickly and hence bursting can be avoided. ]

Turn them frequently until all the bubbles stop almost completely.
