Sift 2 cups of self-raising flour into a bowl.

Add warm water gradually, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Add more flour if the dough is too sticky, aiming for a soft but not sticky consistency.

Let the dough sit for about 20 minutes, covered with a tea towel.

Heat about 500 ml of rice bran oil in a frying pan until it reaches a cooking temperature.

Check if the oil is ready by inserting a clean wooden spoon; bubbles should form around it.

Cut the dough into smaller pieces for frying, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Fry the dough pieces in the oil, cooking about 3-4 pieces at a time until golden brown.
