1/2 cup milk mixed with 1/2 cup of water 
A pinch of salt 
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Mix all the ingredients together to get a smooth thick batter without lumps. (Add a little more water if the batter is too thick). Heat oil in a deep pan till smoky. 
Drop a tablespoon of the batter at a time into the hot oil and fry till golden brown.
