Prepare Oil for Frying
In a deep frying pan or kadhai, heat 4 cups of oil over medium-high heat until hot.

Shape the Dough
After the resting period, divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers.

Roll the Dough
Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. The dough should be about 1/4 inch thick.
