Chekkilaalu - Chakkuli

This is a very popular snack made during festival time. It is very simple to make and very tasty.

Ingridients:-
Rice Flour - 2 cups
Besan - 0.25 cup
Vaamu - 0.5 tspn
Seseme seeds - 2 tspn
Chillie powder - 2 tspn

1. Mix all ingridients in a bowl. Add salt to taste.
2. Take 3 tbspn oil and heat it. Once hot add it to the mixture. This step will give a good crunch to the snack
3. Now add little water to the mixture and make it into a soft dough. We should be able to put it in a chakkuli maker and squeeze it to come out in the shape we desire. The dough should be more softer than the chapati dough
4. Heat oil in a pan and squeeze out the dough in a desired shape. the key for frying is to reduce tghe heat to medium while frying. If you do this it will take more time for the chakuli to fry and the chakkuli will be cream in color. If you do not want it and want the chakkuli to be dark brown in color then you should fry it in high flame and take off soon. Also you can add more chilie powder to you taste
I like it in creamy color, the way they do in marraiges. Enjoy this snack.
