What’s Diwali without some homemade goodies? MAYURA SIDHARTH creates some delicious traditional bites with a healthy twist for your celebrations.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup amaranth (rajgira) flour
  • 1 cup barnyard millet (sama rice)
  • 2 to 3 medium-sized boiled potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon white sesame (til) seeds
  • 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Cooking oil to deep-fry

METHOD

  • Lightly dry roast the sama rice for 2 minutes on a low flame.
  • Grind it to make a fine flour.
  • Mash or grate the boiled potato.
  • In a bowl, mix all the ingredients.
  • Add water only if required to form a dough.
  • Rest the dough for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Heat cooking oil in a kadai to deep-fry the chaklis.
  • Keep the chakli mould ready. Grease it with oil from the inside.
  • Fill the mould with the dough and make small chaklis on butter paper.
  • Once the oil is hot, fry the chaklis on a low to medium flame.
  • Once they turn golden brown, take them out on a tissue paper to drain the oil. Your chaklis are ready!
