Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice flour
- 1 cup Besan (Gram flour)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Hing (Asafoetida)
- 0.5 teaspoon Low-sodium baking soda
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Water
- as needed Oil for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, besan, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, red chili powder, turmeric powder, hing, and low-sodium baking soda.
Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a small pan until warm. Pour this warm oil into the flour mixture and mix well until it resembles a crumbly texture.
Gradually add water to the mixture while forming a soft but firm dough. Do not add all the water at once; use just enough to knead a pliable dough.
Fill a chakli maker or a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle with a portion of the dough.
On a butter paper or a flat surface, form circular spirals of dough by pressing the dough through the chakli maker in a round shape.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, gently slide in the chakli spirals. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry chaklis until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
Remove the fried chaklis using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.
Allow chaklis to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
