Ingredients

• 2 cups Rice flour
• 0.5 cups Urad dal flour
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Water
• 2 cups Oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour and urad dal flour.

Step 2

Add the cumin seeds, sesame seeds, asafoetida, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt to the flour mixture.

Step 3

Soften the butter and add it to the flour mix. Mix until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add water, little by little, and knead into a smooth and soft dough.

Step 5

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

Step 6

Meanwhile, take a portion of the dough and place it into a chakli press fitted with a star-shaped nozzle.

Step 7

Press the dough to form concentric circles of about 2-inch diameter on a small piece of parchment paper.

Step 8

Gently slide the chakli into the hot oil and fry on medium heat until golden brown and crispy. Flip them occasionally for even cooking.

Step 9

Remove the chakli and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining dough.

Step 11

Once cooled, store the chakli in an airtight container.
