Add more water and mix till you get a firm dough.Put a portion of the dough in the Thenkuzhal press. Keep the rest of the dough covered.Apply a little pressure on the handles and swirl the press to make a rough circle.Gently slide the Thenkuzhal in hot oil and fry on low to medium flame till it becomes crisp and light brown in colour.Once done take it out with a slotted spoon and drain on an absorbent paper.Repeat for the rest of the dough. For the last 1-2 tablespoons of the batter, which cannot be pressed make small balls and deep fry them in a deep fry pan.Cool and store in an airtight container.
