6. You shouldn't need any additional water but if your dough is dry, add a little bit.
7. Chill the dough.
8. Add to a Chakli press and in a clockwise or anti clockwise motion start spiraling on a piece of parchment paper.
9. Fry in hot oil for a few minutes.
10. Make sure it's completely cool before taking it out and storing in an air tight container.
