Mix all ingredients, add water little by little to make very soft dough. Take a fistful of dough, place on a greased polyethylene sheet. With base of palm drag the dough in a straight line, from start. For support hold the dough at starting point with other hand. This will for a strip of the lump of dough. A little practice will make this technique very easy. Heat oil in a wide heavy pan. Make 3-4 such strips, put in hot oil. Fry on medium till crisp but not browned. Drain and cool to crisp further.
