• After 30minutes; roll the dough in to half inch thickness.
• Sprinkle only enough flour to make a roll.
• Cut it in to square pieces and make an ‘x’ shape cut on each square with a knife.
• The size of the vettu cake will double when we fry it; so make sure to cut in the correct thickness and length.
