Mix plain flour, self-raising flour, and butter with warm water to form an elastic dough.

Stir in the cheese after removing the mixture from the heat.

Add spinach and chilli, season with salt, and cook until the spinach has wilted.

Fry chopped onions and panch phoran in oil until the onions are golden-brown.

Roll the dough into 12 circles and cut each into half to make 24 pieces.
