  • Water
  • Sesame seeds
  • Ajwain
  • Red chilli powder
  • Oil
  • Salt

Instructions

  • In a heavy bottomed vessel, boil water with salt and 1 tbsp oil. Lower the heat so that the water just simmers. Add the rice flour and mix quickly. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes. Transfer the rice flour dough to a plate. Add chilli powder, roasted ajwain, and sesame seeds. Mix and knead well. If the dough is dry, add a little hot water at a time and knead. Add 1 tbsp oil and knead well again. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside. Grease your palms and take a portion of dough and place it on the plate. Use your palms to roll it into a rope. Bring the ends together and press together to form a circle. Shape all the rings. Keep them covered with a damp cloth else they will dry. In a deep kadhai, over low flame, heat enough oil to fry the ring murukku. Add a few ring murukku at a time to the oil. Wait for a minute and then gently flip the ring murukku with a slotted ladle. Let the ring murukku fry slowly in the oil for about 5 to 7 minutes till they are light golden brown.. Use a slotted ladle to remove the fried Chegodi from the oil and let the oil drain away. Transfer to a plate and let it cool. Serve.
