2. Then add hot oil to this mix .Crumble the aata so that the hot oil is mixed nicely within the flour . 
3. Now using water start making a soft dough. Put water slowly as we do not want to make the aata too soft . Keep kneading till you get medium soft dough . 
4. Now grease the chakali maker and also heat oil for frying in a kadai . Oil should be hot before you start frying pakodas .
5. To test oil, put a small amount of dough into it and if it floats , then the oil is hot .
6. Now put dough into chakali maker and use the ribbon disk at the end of chakali maker . Press or rotate chakali maker to get dough out in strips from other side and directly put in hot oil . 
7 . You can either hold chakali maker on top of hot oil or you can make strips separately in a plate lined with paper/tissue and then put in hot oil immediately .
8 . Fry till the crackling sound is there . When the bubbles disappear and crackling sound stops , remove ribbon pakodas and put them in a container lined with paper/napkin . This will absorb excess oil from pakodas .

Serve fresh with garam chai or store it in air tight container and enjoy during week as evening snack :)
