Pour the hot oil and butter in the flour and rub it well into the flour.
Add water little at a time to form semi soft dough with no cracks.
Cover with cling film or damp kitchen towel and leave it aside to rest for 20 minutes.
Heat oil enough for deep frying.
Take the parchment sheet and spread it on clean kitchen counter.
Oil the Chakli Instument well including the plate with single star nozzle.
Divide the dough in equal halves. Press one part into the Chakli Instrument and tighten the lid.
