2. Make a well in the center and add water slowly while mixing, till it forms a pliable dough.
3. Knead the dough till smooth (about 4 - 5 mts), cover and leave it for 10 - 15 mts.
4. Divide the dough into 2 halves and roll out into thin puris.
5. Cut each puri into long strips 1 cm wide and then again diagonally into diamond shape.
6. Heat oil in a deep kadhai (To check if oil is ready for frying, a pinch of dough dropped in should pop up/float immediately on top) and fry these diamonds in batches till golden brown
