ball-sized dough, shape into round. Place on one sheet, greased side
up. Cover with other sheet, greased side down. Press with a flat surface,
like the bottom of a heavy steel container. Pick up carefully and
let into the hot oil. Repeat for more and fry a few at a time. Fry
on low/medium heat. Till golden and crisp.
Note: If the cracker is too hard, add some oil to the dough.
If it breaks in the oil, add some riceflour and knead again.

10-12 nipattus
