Step Eight: Now with a spoon(deep) add pitha into oil. Add one pitha at a time and after adding the pitha do not touch it and let it get fluff up by itself. Now in a low flame fry it until brown from both sides. Make sure flame should be low otherwise pitha will not get cooked from inside. Now fry all the pithas like this.
