Gradually add water, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for a few minutes until smooth.

Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Flatten each ball slightly with your palm.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until hot.

Fry the dumplings in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm as a side dish or snack.
