Pour enough vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet to reach about 2 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches around 350°F. If you don't have a thermometer, you can test it by dropping a tiny piece of dough in; it should sizzle gently and float to the surface quickly.
Carefully drop teaspoonfuls of the dough into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them, turning occasionally, until they're evenly deep golden brown on all sides. Keep an eye on the oil temperature; if it's too hot, the balls will brown too quickly on the outside before cooking through.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried balls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Continue frying the remaining dough in batches until they're all cooked.
