- Apply oil to your fingers and pinch a small lemon size ball of the dough and roll into a thick rope which is approx 3-4 inches in length and form a ring by pressing the ends of the rope firmly. Prepare chegodis in this manner and place lid over them so that they don't dry.
- Heat a wide heavy bottomed vessel with enough oil for deep frying and once the oil is hot, place the chegodis one by one into the hot oil, you will find the oil froth up in bubbles. Let the chegodis fry on high flame till they rise to the surface.
- Once the chegodis rise to the surface, turn heat to medium flame and cook the chegodis till they turn a golden shade.keep flame on medium to high.
- When they slowly turn to a golden color, turn them over gently to the other side and cook to a golden shade.Use a slotted ladle to remove onto an absorbent paper and cool. Cool completely before storing in an air tight container.
