• Grease the oralu inside well with oil to smoothen the flow of tengolu into oil.

• The oil should be on full flame always.
• Keep flipping the tengolu on both sides till it turns fine golden brown.
• Remove from the heat and put it on a paper towel.

• Remember that the dough would have turned a bit hard by now. Wet your hand in a bowl of water, soften the dough, grease the oralu and press the tengolu.
• It needs some energy to press the tengolu as it consists urad atta. So soft dough and a greased oralu is a must. And better to be done by women who are from a stronger sex. Hubby can't press it. You may take his help in frying.
