Heat enough oil in a kadhai on medium heat.
Choose the attachment of making pakoda and fill this equipment with the ribbon pakoda dough.
Press in the thin strips in the hot oil. Add enough strips to cover the oil pan.
These ribbon pakoda are thin strips so they tend to get brown very soon. Gently turn them on another side quickly.
Once they start turning golden, take them out of the pan and place it on kitchen towel. This will absorb excess oil.
Do the same with the remaining dough.
Let the ribbon pakoda cool completely and store in airtight container.
