Up next, take a rolling pin and make a thin platter Platter-like shape out of the kneaded dough.

* Step 4

Thereafter, take a cookie-cutter or in case it is not available with you at the moment, take a container-cap (maximum 5 cms in diameter) with a sharp edge so as to cut through the flattened kneaded platter and cut out uniform disks. Do not dust with flour much as it will fall in oil
