- Pour water little by little and knead it into a non sticky tight dough. Let it rest for a few minutes.
- Divide the dough into small balls by taking lemon sized amounts of dough and rolling it.
- Flatten each ball using a rolling pin by dusting the surface and dough with wheat flour so that it doesn't stick.
- Cut the flat dough into any desired shapes like diamonds or squares using a knife or pizza cutter.
- Repeat the same process for remaining dough.
- Heat a pan with oil for deep frying at high flame.
- Lower the flame and fry the pieces. Give it a stir occasionally to fry well.

- Make sure to cook every batch uniformly for better taste.
- Once it has puffed up and fried well take it in a strainer or tissue cloth to remove excess oil.
