For Day 3 of BM #45, here is another version of chakli fit for the occasion of Diwali or any celebration!
Ingredients -
Moong Flour 1 cup
Rice Flour 1 cups
Sesame Seeds 1/4 cup
Cumin Seeds 1 tsp
Asafoetida 1/8 tsp
Ghee 1 Tbsp
Salt and Red Chilli Powder as needed
Oil for frying
Method Of Preparation -
In a mixing bowl, add the moong flour, rice flour, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, salt, red chilli powder, asafoetida and ghee and mix well so the ghee is well incorporated.
Add water gradually to make a soft dough.
Fill in the murukku press with the dough and I used the star shaped plate as in the picture.
Heat oil in a deep pan, and on medium heat use the murukku press to drop in spirals of dough. To get a perfect shape, some make these chaklis on an oiled plastic sheet and then gently slide into the oil. I didn't do that as I was racing against time :). I just made shapes directly in oil.
Fry them until they get a golden brown hue. Drain them onto kitchen paper towels. Continue for the rest of the dough.
Store in an air tight container upon cooling.
Preparation Time 1 hr
Makes about 10 cups of murukku :)
