Ingredients:
2 cups rice flour
1 cup moong daal flour
1/2 cup ghee
1 tsp red chilli powder

Preparation:
Sieve the 2 flours together.

the flour.
Melt and cool ghee. Pour it,
a little at a time onto the flour mixture and knead. For Chakli, you need to
make dough that is medium soft and smooth so, when all the ghee is used up, add
cool water, a little at a time and
keep kneading till you reach the required consistency. Taste dough and season
with salt. Mix well.
Fill some of the dough in a
chakli mold or icing bag (with a large nozzle).
Pipe out spirals to make circles.
Heat the oil in a pan on a medium flame.
Deep fry the chaklis till golden. .
Drain on paper towels, cool and store in an air-tight container.
