Cut each of the rolled dough into about half inch wide and 3 inch long pieces. Note: you can cut them in your desire shape. Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium heat. The frying pan should have at least 1 inch of oil. To check if the oil is ready, put a small piece of dough in the oil. The dough should make the oil sizzle and come up slowly. Make sure to place just enough Paare so you can turn them over easily when frying. Fry the Paare until both sides are light golden-brown.

If the Besan Paare are cooked on high heat, they will be soft. turn the stove to medium heat once the oil completely hot.
