Add chopped garlic, pepper, and finely cut Malabar spinach to the dry ingredients and mix well.

Gradually add about 1 cup of lukewarm water while mixing until you reach a soft consistency.

Use a clapping technique to mix the dough well for about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rest for about 1.5 hours.

After resting, wet your hands with water and take a small portion of the dough.

Flatten the dough portion and place it into hot vegetable oil for frying.

Fry until golden brown, then remove from oil.
