Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rice flour
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Low-fat yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0 Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, whole wheat flour, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, red chili powder, asafoetida, salt, turmeric powder, and baking soda.
Step 3
Add low-fat yogurt and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix well to form a crumbly texture.
Step 4
Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture into a soft, pliable dough. The dough should not be too sticky; if necessary, adjust the water accordingly.
Step 5
Fill the chakli maker with the dough. Grease the inside of the maker lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Press the dough out onto the prepared baking sheet, forming spirals or coils, ensuring they are evenly spaced out.
Step 7
Lightly spray the chaklis with cooking spray to help them brown.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are crisp to the touch.
Step 9
Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. The chaklis will crisp up further as they cool.
Step 10
Store the cooled chaklis in an airtight container for up to a week.
