Add water, a pinch of tum mil powder, salt, and vegetable seasoning to a saucepan.

Stir to combine and bring the water to a simmer, avoiding boiling.

Once hot, remove from heat and add cornmeal, stirring until well combined.

Cover and let sit for 3 to 5 minutes until not sticky.

If too sticky, add a little corn flour.

Pour the mixture into a bowl and add flour and dried oregano, stirring to combine.

Form a dough that is not sticky and has the right consistency.

Transfer the dough to a surface and divide it into four equal parts.

Sprinkle flour on the surface and on the dough, then roll it out to less than 1 mm thickness.

Cut off any excess dough and divide it into three pieces, or any size you prefer.

Cut the rolled dough into tiny pieces of your choice shape.

Separate the pieces and use a fork to create holes in the middle of each piece.

Heat oil for frying and fry the dough pieces, flipping them until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Remove from oil and drain excess oil on a paper towel.
