Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rice flour
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Low-fat yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, whole wheat flour, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, red chili powder, asafoetida, salt, turmeric powder, and baking soda.
Add low-fat yogurt and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix well to form a crumbly texture.
Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture into a soft, pliable dough. The dough should not be too sticky; if necessary, adjust the water accordingly.
Fill the chakli maker with the dough. Grease the inside of the maker lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Press the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet, forming spirals or coils, ensuring they are evenly spaced out.
Lightly spray the chaklis with cooking spray to help them brown.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are crisp to the touch.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. The chaklis will crisp up further as they cool.
Store the cooled chaklis in an airtight container for up to a week.
