Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and salt. Knead the dough until it forms a smooth ball. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the cooked chicken, onion, bell peppers, parsley, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, and black pepper.
3. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter.
4. Place 2 tablespoons of the chicken filling in the center of each circle. Fold the edges of the circle over the filling, forming a half-moon shape. Press the edges together to seal.
5. Heat the 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the pathiris in batches until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
