Wheat Flour Chakli/ Chakri

Ingredients 

• 2 cups of Wheat Flour 

• 1/2th cup Rice flour 

• 2 tsp  of red Chili powder (adjust according to your taste)

• 1-1/2 tsp of Sesame seeds

• 1/2 tsp of Carom seeds (ajwain)

• 1/2 tsp of Turmeric powder

• 1-1/2 tbsp. of Sugar

• 1/4th cup + 2 tsp of curd

• 1-1/2 tsp of Coriander powder

• Salt to taste 

• Oil for Frying

• Water for kneading the dough 

Method

• Take a clean cloth and place it on a flat surface and add wheat flour and the rice flour on top of it

• Tie all 4 sides of the cloth tightly

• Place the cloth with the flour in a container

• In a cooker, add 1-1/2 cup of water and place the container inside it. Close the cooker and steam the wheat flour for 15-20  mins without putting the whistles for the cooker.

• Remove the container from the cooker and open the tied cloth. 

• Break the hardened wheat flour with the help of a fork or spoon (its easier to break it when it's warm)

• With the help of a sieve sift the wheat flour so that there are no lumps in the flour

• Now, add sesame seeds, carom seeds, sugar, curd, chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder and mix everything really well

• Knead a soft dough by adding water little at a time. The texture of the dough should be somewhat like the bhajra dough 

• Apply oil to your Chakli/Chakri maker machine and stuff the dough inside it 

• Heat oil in a kadhai on a medium flame

• Shape spiral-shaped Chakli's /Chakri's on a plastic sheet or paper. Once the oil is hot, add chakli's one by one to the kadhai and fry them on medium flame.

• Lower the flame in case the oil gets too hot as the chakli's will get burnt and will not cook properly. The oil should be moderately hot when frying the chakli's
