Make a hole in the center of the flour and add water slowly while mixing, till it forms a pliable dough. 

 Knead the dough till smooth (about 4 - 5 mts), cover and leave it for 10 - 15 mts.

Divide the dough into 2 halves and roll out into thin puris.

Cut each puri into long strips 1 cm wide and then again diagonally into diamond shape.

Heat oil in a deep kadhai (To check if oil is ready for frying, a pinch of dough dropped in should pop up/float immediately on top) and fry these diamonds in batches till golden brown.
