Maharashtrian Chakli

🇮🇳 Indian

Spiral chakli, the Diwali snack that breaks teeth and hearts equally. Craggy, crisp and impossible to eat just one of. Plate with fried green chilies and a dusting of chaat masala.

Prep 15 min Cook 17 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

  • Ginger Garlic Paste1 tsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Green Chili2
  • Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
  • Vegetable Oilfor deep frying
  • Asafoetidaa pinch
  • Gram Flour1 cup
  • Ajwain1/2 tsp
  • Rice Flour1 cup
  • Sesame Seeds1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix the rice flour into a seasoned batter with the gram flour, resting it ten minutes so the flours hydrate.

  2. 2

    Get the oil shimmering but not smoking; steady medium-high is the fritter zone.

  3. 3

    Slide the batter in with two spoons — rough, craggy shapes fry crispest.

  4. 4

    Fry till deep gold, flipping once, then lift out and drain on a rack — paper towels steam the bottoms soft.

  5. 5

    Serve hot with chutney and fried green chilies, dusted with chaat masala if you're feeling street.

Chef's tip

If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
