In a mixing bowl, combine the all purpose flour, with the baking powder, and oil, using just enough water, make a smooth soft dough.

Once the dough is ready, divide into equal portions of lemon sized balls.

Dust each of those dough balls with flour and roll out like a roti using a rolling pin.

Using a paring knife, cut long strips of the dough measuring 1 centimeter size, resembling flat noodles.

Once the noodles, tend to fluff up, remove from the water, using a slotted spoon and put it into a strainer that's resting on a bowl, to hold the excess water.
