Bhajanee Chakli

Ingredients 

• 1 cup black gram split (urad dal dhuli)
• 4 cups rice

Dough

• 2 cups bhajnee flour
• Oil to deep fry
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Salt to taste
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon red chilli powder

Method

1. For the bhajanee flour, dry-roast the rice and black gram separately. Cool completely and grind separately to a powder. Sift both the flours and mix.
2. Place two cups of bhajanee flour in a bowl. Add the butter, salt, cumin powder and chilli powder, and mix well. Divide the mixture in half. Take one half and knead into a soft dough with half a cup of water.
3. When the dough is used up, make a dough of the remaining flour. Put small portions of the mixture into a chakli mould and press out several chaklis onto a plastic sheet.
4. Heat sufficient oil in a non-stick kadai till moderately hot. Deep-fry the chakli till light golden brown and crisp. Drain on absorbent paper and set aside to cool. Store in an airtight container.
