Cooking Steps
In a bowl, add rice flour and gram flour together.
Now, add cumin seeds, ajwain, till, red chili powder, turmeric powder, hing and salt. Mix it well with a spoon.
Now in a pan, heat oil. Once done, add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips to mix the oil with the flour.
In a pan, heat water until it start to boil. Add the hot water to the flour mixture in portions. Stir it with a spoon.
Knead the dough, adding hot water as and when required. Knead until the dough is firm and keep aside for 30 minutes.
Take the chakli maker and add some water. Place a piece of the dough inside it.
Close the lid tightly and press the chakli maker to prepare the chakli. Move in rounds in order to get the spiral shake. You can use butter paper to make the chaklis on.
In case, the chakli breaks while forming, add 1 tbsp of water and knead dough again. If the correct shape isn't forming, the dough has too much water. Add some flour and knead it again.
Once you reach the last circle of the spiral break the dough. Make all the chaklis following the same steps.
In a pan, add oil. Ensure the oil is well heated. In order to test this, place a small piece of dough into the oil. If the dough comes up slowly then the oil is hot enough.
Gently slide the chaklis into the oil. Fry 3 or 4 chaklis at a time and until they are golden in color. Remove and drain it on paper towels.
