Heat butter in a pan after the butter melts, add water and bring it to boil. Now slowly add the dry ingredients and mix it properly without lumps. Now remove the mixture from the pan and knead the dough on the dry board with little oil in a hand. Take small amount of dough and shape it into small rings. Repeat the process for the remaining dough. Allow these rings to rest for 1/2 hr on a greased surface.

Take a deep frying pan and heat oil on a medium heat (375 C) and fry those rings on a medium heat until crisp.

Note: You don’t want your dough to be sticky so if it has too much water or is too sticky to you can add a sprinkle of flour to the dough and continue kneading.
