Maharashtrian Chakli
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.
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
Mix the rice flour into a seasoned batter with the gram flour, resting it ten minutes so the flours hydrate.
- 2
Get the oil shimmering but not smoking; steady medium-high is the fritter zone.
- 3
Slide the batter in with two spoons — rough, craggy shapes fry crispest.
- 4
Fry till deep gold, flipping once, then lift out and drain on a rack — paper towels steam the bottoms soft.
- 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.
