Critical Success Points

  • Achieve a firm but not too dry dough (adjust water or flour).
  • Maintain oil temperature (160 °C then 180 °C) to avoid excessive oil absorption.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can cause severe burns; handle with tongs and a thermometer.
  • Never leave the oil unattended.
  • Use kitchen gloves if you are heat‑sensitive.
