How to make Chakli (murukku)
Ingredients:
1 cup rice flour
1/2 cup gramflour
1/2 teaspoon carom seeds (ajwain)
1/2 teaspoon black cumin seeds
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (white or black or both mix)
1/8 teaspoon (or a pinch) asfoetida (hing)
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1-1 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
1 teaspoon salt (or as per taste)
2-3 tablespoons oil
Lukewarm water as needed
Oil for deep frying
Method:
1. Take both the flours in a large bowl and add all the dry ingredients. Mix well then add 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil and rub the mixture well. Now knead the dough using lukewarm water. The dough shouldn't be very soft otherwise it will stick to the mould and won't come off easily. Neither it should be very hard or else the final result will be dense and hard chakli.
2. Now grease the mould with little oil and put a small portion of the dough. Press it to make Chakli shape.
3. Heat oil in a kadai for deep frying and fry the chaklis immediately till golden. Remove on an absorbent paper. Chakli is ready to serve. You can store them for 2 weeks.
