Add the egg mix to the maida mix little by little and mix well.

Make it into tight dough. Keep it aside for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions.

With a roller shape the dough roughly like a large square (thickness-1cm).If you want, shape the dough as a square with a knife.

 Divide the square in to small square pieces (1 1/2 inch).

Then run a sharp knife over the formed pieces to form two deep cuts like a cross.

Heat coconut oil and fry them in medium heat for 4 minutes flipping them in between to ensure uniform cooking .Make sure that oil is not too hot then outside gets burns earlier and inner dough will not be cooked.

Once they are cooked ( become golden color), remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer to kitchen towel to remove excess oil.

Enjoy Vettu Cake with a cup of hot tea.
