After that, mix other dry ingredients too. Then shape the dough is small flat circles. Preheat oil in a deep pan on a high flame. Add the dough balls into it and make sure no one touches another; otherwise, they will stick together. After about 10 seconds, turn the flame low. Cook until they become firm, but make sure they don’t turn brown.

Take them out from the oil and set aside for cooling. When they are cool, cut them into the shape of thick slices. Now turn the flame high and deep fry these slices to make them crispy.
