the last time i made them, i did a bit of an experiment- Imeasured the oil before i cooked them and again after.. and cooking a pretty big batch of them I really only lost slightly under 1 tbs of oil...
when frying -- it's kinda like cooking pasta - use a bigger than you need pot.. and enough oil and make sure the oil is super hot (don't stick your finger in - stick a wooden spoon and if there are bubbles around the spoon - its hot enough)-- so that when you put the food in - the heat doesn't decrease.. it's the decrease in the heat that causes the oil absorbtion...
