Chakuli/ Murukku

It was always a flop show when I prepared chakuli or murukku. There was one or the other mistake but now I have no problem because amma and mamama (grandma) taught me the right way of making chakuli and here is the perfect one.
These Chakli's Were posted long back when I was in India.... I have reposted it as it got Deleted.

We need:

ü  Rice flour 5 cups

ü  Butter (loni) or shortening ¾ cup

ü  Urad daal 4-5 tea spns

ü  Ajwain  seeds(Carom seeds) - 1 tea spn

ü  Sesame seeds (Til) 1 tea spn

ü  Oil for frying

ü  Water

ü  Salt to taste

Method:

ü  Roast urad daal (without oil) till they turn slightly brownish and powder them.

ü  Add the powder, butter, cumin seeds, sesame seeds and salt to rice flour and mix well. 

ü  Now add milk/water to it slowly mixing it to remove any lumps (Milk makes the chaklis crispier and tastier). 

ü  Make it into dough (like chapathi dough).

ü  Knead the dough well on a flat board, pressing the dough to the board.

ü  Fill the chakli press with the dough and press into chakli shape on a flat board (use a plastic paper on the board to make it easier to lift the chaklis

ü  Heat oil in a kadai and deep fry the chaklis. Take out on a kitchen towel.

P.S : If the chaklis tend to break while making, try kneading the dough for some more time, if still it doesn’t come out well, add some more milk/water and knead again.

When they are cooled to room temperature, store them in an airtight container.

Tastes Yum Yum  when u add lozza love in it.

Verdict : Super crunchy and And gets empty within no time
