Tips:
Never use cooking soda in a batter for crispy texture, or else the batter will leave a thin watery type texture, we need a thick batter to coat properly. To make it more crispier add one spoon of hot oil into the batter. Rest rice flour will do their best to make your fritters crispy.
After taking out when done frying, do not store immediately when hot, it will leave soggy. First let it cool completely before storing.
