Method
- Sift the flour to get rid of any unwanted particles and also to loosen it.
- Mix all the dry ingredients together with a spatula.
- Gradually add warm water and mix together with the other dry ingredients.
- Place the mixture in a warm place i.e. your oven or microwave. Leave it to rise for about 45 minutes. It should double in size. If the mixture doesn’t rise, it means something is wrong with your yeast. Preferably, use instant yeast so you don’t need to soak it in water first; just add to the flour.
- Pour vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
- Now scoop the mixture with your measuring spoon (1 tbsp. scoop) into the pan of oil
- Fry in small batches. Flip it once it starts to brown until it is a nice golden brown all over.
- Transfer from the pan to another bowl to drain the oil.
