Mean while heat the oil in a pan over medium heat.

Prick the flattened dough with fork all over so it does not puff while frying.

Make sure the oil is hot enough and add the paare’s into the frying pan just enough so you can turn them and fry all of them equally. Fry until they turn golden brown on both sides and allow it to cool. Munch it with your hot favorite drink!
