2) Let it rest for about 10 min in refrigerator.
3) Preheat the oven at 180c for 5 min.
4) Roll out the dough thinly (like chapatti). Cut long strips about 5 mm in width each and of equal length.
5) Use 3 strips for each straw to create a plait press some water on both ends to seal the individual straw. Alternatively, you can use small balls of dough and rubbing it using the palms create long straws. Slightly twist them. Set aside.
5) Line a baking sheet and place the straws with some space between them.
6) Bake for about 10 min , the first batch and 8-10 min for the following.
