Festival times are not complete without savory snacks to go along with the sweet ones. Chakli (aka Chakri or Murukku) is a crispy spiral snack made from rice flour. It is perfect with tea or coffee or just on its own. Try this super easy Chakli recipe for Diwali or any other time of year.

Ingredients:

Sour Cream – 3/4 cup
Green Chili Paste – 1 tsp or to taste
Ginger – 1 tsp, minced
Sesame Seeds – 1/2 Tbsp
Salt – to taste
Cumin Seeds – 1/4 tsp, roughly powdered
Rice Flour – 3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp
All Purpose Flour (Maida) – 1/2 Tbsp

Oil – for deep frying

Method:

1. In a medium mixing bowl, add all ingredients EXCEPT Rice Flour and All Purpose Flour. Mix well and adjust salt.
2. Add Rice Flour and All Purpose Flour and mix to form a soft dough using your hands.
3. Heat Oil in a pan for deep frying.
4. Place dough in a lightly oiled Sev Maker or Press using the single star disc.
5. Form Chaklis in a circular pattern on a piece of foil or wax paper. They can be approx 2 inches in diameter.
