3. Heat oil in a kadai, once the oil is hot. Keep the heat in medium and gently slide the rolled out dough into the hot oil. After a few seconds, press it with a ladle so that it will puff up nicely. Fry both sides until golden brown. Then remove it from the oil . Repeat the same process for the rest of the dough.
