 Put the dough in the equipment(Nazhi ) with the correct chip. I have used the finer chip with lot of holes.
Heat oil for deep frying in a frying pan/kadhai. Divide the dough into 3-4 ball. When the oil becomes hot put one dough in the equipment.

The dough will come down from the bottom in thin noodle shape into the oil.  When it becomes slightly brown drain and take it out into a kitchen towel.  Repeat for the rest of thd dough. Fry in batches 3-4 times.
Serve hot with tea.
