Chakli

Ingredients:

500gm of rice flour

100gm of Besan flour

2-3 tsp of red chilli powder

Salt to taste

2 pinches of baking soda

Water as required

Method:

• Slightly fry the rice flour for 5-6 min on slow heat.
• Transfer the rice flour and Besan flour into a mixing pan add chilli powder, salt, baking soda and make a dough out of it with adequate water.

• The dough should be of right consistency, i.e., if you use it in the chakli maker and squeeze out it should flow freely and not break. If it breaks then more water needs to be added to loosen the dough and so on.

• Squeeze out desired shapes and deep fry in boiling oil. The oil should be boiling hot so the chakli gets fried soon and does not suck in oil.

Note: if you want the Chakli snack really soft you could add some clarified butter.
