Cuisine: South Indian
Ingredients:
Black rice flour – 750gm
Sesame seeds – 4 teaspoons
Salt – as required
Chilly powder (spicy) – ½ teaspoon
Caraway seeds – 1 teaspoon
Hot oil – 1 cup
Water – as required
Oil – for Frying
Method:
In a large mixing bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together. Then pour the hot oil and mix with a spatula. Add water and knead well to form a soft dough. The dough should not be too sticky. If it is sticky, add a little more flour and mix. Take the Chakli maker and place a portion of the dough inside it. Tighten the lid and press the Chakli maker to prepare the chakli. Move in rounds to get a spiral shape. Make the Chakli on a piece of banana leaf. Break the dough towards the end of the spiral and press it to the last circle of the spiral. Heat oil in a kadai for deep frying. Then, carefully drop the Chaklis one by one into the hot oil. Fry them until the color of the Chakli changes a little. Do not let the color change too dark. Once they are fried, remove them from the oil. Repeat the process until all the dough is finished. Once they have cooled to room temperature, store them in an airtight container.
Note:
If the chakli breaks while forming them, this means that the dough does not have enough moisture. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water and knead the dough again. If you are not getting proper shape, this means that the dough is too moist. Add some flour and knead again.
