• Now heat a pan and add enough oil and make it ready for deep frying.
• Take one thick plastic cover; apply oil to it for preparing shaping up the dough.
• Now take little dough and make into balls and press into a flat circular shape with your hand.
• Now slowly leave the circular shaped ariselu one by one into the heating oil and fry till golden brown color, flip them and fry the other side too in medium flame.
