Q: Can I use another type of beans for this recipe?
A: Yes, you can use different types of beans, but cooking times may vary.
Q: How do I know when the oil is at the right temperature for frying?
A: The oil should be around 180°C (356°F). You can test it by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface quickly, it’s ready.
