Remove the mixture in a mixing plate and start kneading .

*** The dough should be soft and smooth. [When you try to roll it into a ball ,you should get a perfect smooth ball without any cracks]

Once the dough is ready divide it into equal small lemon size portion .

Roll each portion into small smooth balls , slightly press it from top .

Place them on the baking tray by leaving space between them.

Bake it in preheated oven at 180 * for 20 – 22 minutes.

Check after 15 minutes ,so that it doesn’t brown.

***If it slides easily without sticking at the bottom of the tray it means its done.
