Ingredients
 

  • 2 cup or 250 grm rice flour
  • 1 cup or 100 grm besan
  • 1.5 cup water or as required
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp green chilli paste
  • ¼ tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp red chilli powder
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, add 2 cups of rice flour and 1 cup of besan. Mix well.
  • Now, in a kadai, add 1½ cups of water and bring it to a boil. Add salt, 1 tbsp green chilli paste, ¼ tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp red chilli powder, 2 tbsp white sesame seeds, and 3 tbsp oil. Mix well.
  • When the water starts boiling, lower the flame, add the flour mixture, and mix well.
  • Switch off the flame and cover the kadai for 2 minutes.
  • Transfer the flour mixture to a mixing bowl. When the mixture is slightly warm, knead it well. This process helps bind the flour mixture together.
  • Now, add 1–2 tbsp of water and knead into a semi-soft dough for chakli.
  • Take a chakli maker fitted with a star-shaped disc. Lightly grease the chakli maker with oil, add the dough, and close the lid.
  • On a greased steel plate, rotate the chakli maker in a circular motion while twisting the handle to form spiral chaklis. Join the ends of each chakli to prevent it from opening while frying.
  • Heat oil over a medium flame. Test the temperature by adding a small piece of dough. If it rises to the surface without browning immediately, the oil is ready.
  • Add 3–4 chaklis at a time to the hot oil and deep-fry them over medium heat until they are crispy and golden brown. Fry evenly on both sides, then remove them and place them on a wire rack.
  • Allow the chaklis to cool to room temperature. They are now ready to serve or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Besan helps bind the chakli dough and enhances its taste.
  • The quantity of besan should be half the quantity of rice flour.
  • The quantity of water should be half the total quantity of the flour mixture.
  • Once the water starts boiling, add the flour mixture.
  • When the flour mixture cools slightly and is still warm, knead it well.
  • The chakli dough should have a medium-soft consistency.
  • Do not make the chakli dough too soft, as the chakli may turn chewy after frying.
  • Fry the chakli over a medium flame until it becomes crispy.
