MINI CHAKLIS

Chakli is an irresistible snack which you can never stop munching. Ideal for party knick-knacks too. I made mini chaklis for my party and they were super hit. I am sure kids would love these mini chaklis for snacking in their lunch box.

Ingredients:
Flour / maida --- 1 & 1/2 cups
Rice flour ...... 1/4 cup
Besan / gram flour .. 1/2 cup

Method:
1. Mix the 3 flours, salt, cumin seeds and red chilli powder.
2. Tie them in a muslin cloth ( before kneading) and steam in a double boiler for 5 minutes.
3. Remove from the cloth into a large bowl. Crumble with your hands well until it resembles bread crumbs.
4. Now mix the melted butter or ghee and  knead adding water carefully to a soft and pliable dough. ( it takes about one and quarter cups of water )
