Chakkuli Filed under ( Amchikele Randap/Konkani food, Fries and Podis, Snacks )

It was always a flop show when I prepared chakuli or murukku. There was one or the other mistake but now I have no problem bcoz amma nd mamama (grandma) taught me the ryt way of making chakuli and here is the perfect one.

We need:

• Rice flour 5 cups
• Butter (loni) or shortening ¾ cup
• Urad daal 4-5 tea spns
• Ajwain  seeds(Carom seeds) - 1 tea spn
• Sesame seeds (Til) 1 tea spn
• Oil for frying
• Water
• Salt to taste

Method:

• Roast urad daal (without oil) till they turn slightly brownish and powder them.
• Add the powder, butter, cumin seeds, sesame seeds and salt to rice flour and mix well. 
• Now add milk/water to it slowly mixing it to remove any lumps (Milk makes the chaklis crispier and tastier). 
• Make it into dough (like chapathi dough).
• Knead the dough well on a flat board, pressing the dough to the board.
• Fill the chakli press with the dough and press into chakli shape on a flat board (use a plastic paper on the board to make it easier to lift the chaklis
• Heat oil in a kadai and deep fry the chaklis. Take out on a kitchen towel.

P.S : If the chaklis tend to break while making, try kneading the dough for some more time, if still it doesn’t come out well, add some more milk/water and knead again.

When they are cooled to room temperature, store them in an airtight container.

Tastes Yum Yum when u add lozza love in it.

Verdict : Super crunchy and And gets empty within no time
