Now take small portions of dough and roll it thin into 4inches long and join the roll by pressing it firmly.
Prepare all the rings to deep fry and keep them aside by covering with a lid.
Now take a kadai (deep frying pan) and add enough oil to deep fry .Once the oil gets heated, add the rings few (10-15)at a time and once they come up then put the gas on medium flame and let them fry.
It usually takes few mintues to get the color, so have patience and turn them in between .Check that the gas is on medium,if its on Low then it will absorb oil so becareful.
Deep fry all the chegodi and once they are cool you can store them in a air tight jar.
