Mix rice flour into the gram flour or all-purpose flour to keep the fritters crispy and make them absorb very little oil.
Mix the onions, green chilies, coriander leaves, and salt well with the gram flour just before frying, ideally while the oil is heating in the pan. Adding salt early causes onions and coriander leaves to release water, preventing crispiness.
