Do this to all the doughs. You will get 24 balls.
Now take one dough and flatten it length wise with a rolling pin.
Now roll it up like a swiss roll.
Repeat the process one more time.
Roll it again into a swiss roll, then cut the roll into 2 equal parts.

Wet the outer rimr of the circle and fold into half.
Flute the edges. Deep fry the spiral puffs in medium hot oil.
