Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice flour
- 0.5 cup Gram flour (Besan)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 cups Water
- 3 cups Oil (for deep frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, gram flour, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, chili powder, asafoetida, and salt.
Melt the butter and add it to the flour mixture. Mix well until the ingredients resemble coarse crumbs.
Gradually add water to the mixture, little by little, kneading well to form a soft and smooth dough. The dough should be pliable but not sticky.
Fit a chakri press with a star-shaped mold and fill it with the prepared dough.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until appropriately hot. Test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough; it should rise to the surface quickly without burning.
Directly press the chakri into the hot oil in a circular motion to form spirals of about 3 to 4 inches in diameter.
Fry the chakri on medium heat until they turn golden brown, flipping once midway to ensure even cooking on both sides.
Remove the chakri from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
Allow the chakri to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
