Instant crispy chakli

We all know chakli is one of best go to snack in south Indian families and also one of the most important naivedya(food offered to God during pooja) for Varamahalakshmi and Ganesha Chaturthi festivals .

Cumin seeds - 2 tbsp
White sesame seeds - 2tbsp
Hing / asafetida - half teaspoon
Salt
Water ( 4 cups or as required to form stiff dough)

Instructions -

Step 1 - take a relatively big bowl and add in rice flour, fried gram flour , cumin seeds, white sesame seeds , hing , salt and mix them all.

Step 2 - after mixing the dry ingredients , add in hot oil and mix it initially with any spatula.
Then use your hands and mix it really well.

Step 3- Just hold some flour in your fist and see if it holds the shapes, if not add in some more hot oil. Adding hot oil to the flours is the secret to crispy chaklis 😀.

step 4 - Now add water in batches to form a stiff chakli dough.

step 5 - once the dough is ready , fill them in greased chakli maker and make chakli shapes on a butter paper or any plastic sheet.

step 6 - Deep fry them in hot oil by flipping occasionally and in medium flame throughout.
once the chaklis turn lovely golden brown, take them out and enjoy .
