3. Make a dough ball, press it with palm of hand and then roll it very thin. Before making the cuts, put oil in a wok to get hot at medium heat.
4. Put the rolled dough on a cutting board before making the cuts so that the bench top/rolling surface will not be spoiled.
5. First cut in straight lines, to keep the estimate of equal width use you finger as a guide, in this manner all the namak pare will be equally sized.
6. Make the second cut in oblique direction leaving 3 long cut sections in between. In this way namak pare will get the traditional look.
