Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice flour
- 0.5 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
- 0.25 cup Black gram flour (urad dal flour)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground red chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter or ghee (melted)
- 1.5 cups Water
- 4 cups Oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, chickpea flour, and urad dal flour.
Add sesame seeds, cumin seeds, ground red chili powder, asafoetida, and salt to the dry ingredients.
Pour in the melted butter or ghee and mix well until it resembles a crumbly texture.
Gradually add water to the flour mixture while kneading to form a soft, pliable dough. The dough should not be too stiff or too sticky.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Meanwhile, fill a chakli maker with the dough. Use the star-shaped mold for traditional chakli.
Carefully press the dough into spiral shapes on a plate or directly into the hot oil.
Fry chaklis in batches on medium heat until they turn golden brown and crispy, flipping them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once done, remove the chaklis with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Allow them to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Serve as a delightful snack!
