- Add water little by little and make it into a soft dough.
- Now take a portion of the dough and slightly flatten it. Dust the flour and roll it slightly thin.
- Prick the rolled dough with a fork, so that it doesn’t puff up while frying.
- Now use a small size cookie cutter or any bottle cap and cut the flattened dough into small size circles. Now take a small size tumbler and grease it at the bottom. Take one circle and place it at the bottom of the greased tumbler and press gently as shown in the above video.
- Place the tumbler in the hot oil and gently splash the hot oil around the tumbler so that the dough separates from the tumbler. If the dough doesn’t separate, gently separate it using a fork.
- Fry the katori’s on a medium heat until it is golden in color. Drain off any excess oil on a paper towel and set aside. Repeat the same for the rest of the dough.
