5) Roll it out in small circles (about 6  -7 inch in diameter) with thin-medium thickness. dont make it too thin. Start heating the oil for deep frying before you repeat this for all the dough 
7) Check the oil temperature to see if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of dough in it. The dough should fry up immediately and come to the surface
