Shape the Puffs
Take a small amount of the mixture and shape it into a ball, then flatten it slightly to form a disk. Repeat the process until all the mixture is used.

Fry the Puffs
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully drop the shaped puffs into the oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
