Mix flour, oil, and salt in a bowl until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough and let it rest for a while.

In a pan, heat oil and sauté garlic until fragrant.

Add chicken mince, cumin, black pepper, red chili powder, and cook until the chicken is browned.

Stir in chopped tomatoes, green chilies, and spring onions; cook until soft.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Divide dough into equal portions and roll each into a thin circle.

Place a portion of the chicken mixture in the center of each dough circle.

Fold the edges over the filling to create a sealed parcel.

Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat and fry the parcels until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
