You can pretty much play around with the flavors in this chin chin recipe. There’s no one-size-fits-all rule when it comes to how to make chin chin.

WHAT ELSE CAN I ADD?

Aside from what’s listed above, you can basically add these ingredients below.

*Orange or lemon zest for that citrusy kick.

*Cinnamon instead of nutmeg

*Banana essence

* Onion or ginger paste

* Chili or cayenne pepper

WHY DOES MY CHINCHIN SOAK UP SO MUCH OIL?

* It could be that the oil wasn’t hot enough.

* The oil isn’t enough for deep-frying the fried dough.

*Your pan is too overcrowded.

HOW CAN I SOFTEN UP MY CHIN CHIN A BIT?

I love it more in the middle – crunchy and soft. But if you prefer yours to be on the softer side with little to no crunch, add an extra 1-2 tablespoons of butter.
