Add some water to the flour mixture to form a smooth dough. The dough should be of a perfect consistency.

Let the dough rest for 20 minutes.

In a separate pot, add 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Let the sugar dissolve without stirring.

Once the sugar has dissolved, add lemon juice and stir. Switch off the flame and keep it aside.

Divide the dough into three portions. Dust with dry flour and roll each portion into a thin layer.

After rolling, tap the layer gently without rubbing it. Repeat for the next layer.

Roll the layered dough tightly. Apply some water and dust with dry flour before cutting it into pieces.

Press each piece gently and keep it aside.

Heat oil for deep frying and check the temperature.

Fry the pieces until they turn golden brown, then remove them from the oil.
