3. Heat oil for frying. Take a plastic bag and apply oil on it. Now take small portion of the dough and form a ball. Place the ball on the plastic and press down as shown to form a poori. You might have to dip your hands in water to prevent the dough from sticking to your hand. So keep some warm water close by. Carefully take the vada off the plastic and fry on both sides.
