Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl

- Then divide dough in half and roll out each piece of dough onto a floured surface until it is 3/16th inch thick
- Next place a tawa or skillet on medium heat and bring up to temperature
- When tawa comes up to temperature place dough on the tawa and toast for about a minute on each side or until most of the stickiness is gone from the dough
- Remove the dough from the heat and let cool for a few minutes
- Then using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut dough into strips that are about 3/16th of an inch thick
- Next add oil to a large skillet on medium-high heat
- When the oil comes up to temperature add the dough strips and deep fry until the strips are golden brown, be careful not to overcook or bun the strips
- Remove from the oil and drain on a few sheets of paper towel
- Repeat these steps as needed until all the dough has been made into strips and fried (Metemgee)
