  • In a large mixing bowl, sift the rice flour and gram flour. To it, add red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric, hing,salt and seeds carom seeds,cumin seeds, and white sesame seeds.

Boil some water and use this hot water, some at a time knead a soft pliable dough. Adjust as needed. Rest for 5-10 mins by covering with a wet cloth. Give the rested dough a quick knead one more time and then divide into 2-3 equal portions. Take the chakli press and add the star disk to it so it's flat and seals the bottom. Add one portion of the dough, press so it fits inside the tube. Close and tightly secure the lid of the chakli maker. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper squares for each chakali. Press the chakli maker to squeeze out the dough and then move in a circular motion to make spirals. Make about 4-5 spirals, close to each other for each chakli. Break the dough and seal the outside and inside edge to prevent them from opening while frying. Continue pressing the remaining chaklis in a similar manner. Makes 7-8 chaklis of 4-5 round each with one portion. Heat oil in a frying pan and Line a baking tray with a paper towel and keep it ready. Add 1-2 pieces of chakali. Fry on medium-low heat until golden. Serve.
