Press them directly into the hot oil,in medium high flame fry till crisp & light golden brown on all sides.
Remove it on a kitchen paper for excess oil to get absorbed.
Cool completely & store it in a air tight container.

b) Add water little by little to get the right consistency.
c) Instead of jeera you can also add ajwain.
