- Leave the dough for around 15-30 mts.
- Divide the dough into equal parts and start working on one ball at a time.

- Now make slanted cuts in one ribbon and you get diamond shaped cuts. Repeat the steps for all the dough balls.
- Heat a pan with enough oil and fry the cuts out (few at a time).
- The cuts will puff up and ends will start browning up.
- Drain them and keep aside.
