Chakodi

These are the road side snacks of my childhood. One of the favorites' of my brother and we would go to one of the small stores' to get these. They used to be amazing. Crunchy on the outside and soft in inside.
           Today I made them for the first time and they turned out great and I learned some lessons for the next time. So they will be better next time

Ingredients:

  1. 1 cup rice flour
  2. 1/2 teaspoon each of cumin, hing, caraway seeds, baking soda, chilli powder
  3. 1 teaspoon salt
  4. 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  5. 2 cups water
  6. oil for deep frying + 1 table spoon
In a bowl mix together the rice flour, salt, cumin, caraway seeds, sesame seeds, chilli powder and hing

In a pan boil the water along with the baking soda to a rolling boil. Add the flour mix slowly to the boiling water and mix well. Let it cool enough to handle. Knead the dough into a smooth ball for 5 minutes. 

Take a small amount of dough (Smaller than a golf ball) and roll it between your palms into a log, as thick as you like. Pinch the ends together. Continue with the rest of the dough

Heat oil for deep frying in a pan over medium high heat. Add half of the pre made chakodies and let them fry for atleast 3 minutes before flipping else they will break. Fry on the other side for 3-4 minutes. Drain and let it cool a bit before enjoying
