Method

  1. Mix rice flour and urad dal flour with sesame seeds, ajwain, hing and salt.
  2. Rub in a tablespoon of hot coconut oil, then add water little by little to bring it together into a soft, smooth dough.
  3. Grease a chakli press with a little oil, fill it with dough and pipe spirals directly onto a plate or parchment paper, sealing the ends.
  4. Deep-fry the spirals in medium-hot oil on low-medium flame, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp throughout (fry on low heat so the inside cooks before the outside browns too fast).
  5. Drain on paper towels and cool completely before storing airtight; serve as a Deepavali tea-time snack.
