Ingredients
Main Ingredients
1 cup rice flour (chawal ka atta)
1/4 cup urad dal (split black lentil) flour
2 tsp sesame seeds (til)
a pinch of asafoetida (hing)
1 tbsp oil or
a pinch of baking soda
salt to taste

Method
- Allow it to cool completely, and pack in an air-tight tiffin box.
- Combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl and knead into a semi-soft dough using enough water (approx. ¾ cup).
- Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and put one portion of the dough into a murukku / chakli press.
- Press out 1 round swirl of the dough on a clean, dry surface working closely from the centre to the outside of the swirl (approx. 100 mm. (4") diameter).
- Repeat with the remaining dough to make 19 more swirls.
- Heat the oil in a deep non- stick kadhai, lift each swirl with a spatula and deep-fry them, a few at a time on a slow flame, till they turn light brown in colour and crisp from both the sides.
- Drain on an absorbent paper.

A south Indian snack, and a super easy to make munchies for kids in the tiffin. This can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container. I have loved making this as it takes very less time to prepare. Everyone should try and make this recipe.
