Vegetable oil is more budget-friendly.

In a bowl, mix 2 cups of flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Add 100 grams of butter and mix with hands until well combined.

Make a well in the center and add 1 egg, followed by a bit of olive oil; mix well.

Gradually add 1/4 cup of water until a smooth dough forms; knead for 5-10 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 2 hours.

In a pressure cooker, boil the chicken until cooked.

Finely chop the onion and sauté it in a pot with a bit of oil until softened.

Add the boiled chicken to the pot and mix well.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of red chili powder, 1 tablespoon of cumin powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of chili flakes; mix well.

Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper; mix and cover for 5-10 minutes.

Chop the hard-boiled eggs and parsley, then add them to the mixture; mix well and let it cool completely.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (about 392°F).

Roll out the rested dough and cut it into small circles.

Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each circle, fold to create a half-moon, and seal the edges with water.

Brush the tops with egg wash for color.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown.
