The best way to cook these is to use a deep, large skillet or a large stock pot.
2
Fill halfway up the sides of the skillet or stock pot with canola oil and put on low-medium heat.

Place a deep-fry thermometer in the oil and preheat the canola oil to 400 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, curry powder, salt, baking powder, and turmeric.
5
Mix thoroughly with a whisk.
6
Make a well in the center and add the eggs, buttermilk, and milk and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth.
7
The best way to get the funnel cake effect is to use a large squeeze bottle or an old water bottle that has the squeeze nozzle.

Pour the batter into a bottle and when the oil is hot and reaches 400 degrees F, pour the batter in a criss-cross pattern.

After 1 minute, flip the funnel cake over and cook another minute.

Remove the funnel cake and drain on a paper towel.
