Notes
To get soft bolis ,the dough should be sticky and soft.Make sure that you cover the dough completely with oil.You can also use vegetable oil ,if you cant find gingelly oil.
Do not cook the boli for too long,if you do so it will turn hard.
The bolis can be stored in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days. Refrigerate it,if you want to keep it for a longer time.
Adding turmeric powder is optional.I did add turmeric powder as i wanted to avoid artificial food colour.
