Baked chakkili (Or) murukku (Or) No oil Chakli

Preparation time : 45 mins

Makes : 30 

Ingredients :

Rice flour : 1 cup

Curd : 1/2 cup

Sesame seeds : 2 tsp

Chili powder : 1 tsp

Asafotida or Hing : pinch

Salt : to taste

Oil : 1 tsp

Method :

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, mix well and knead into a semi soft dough using enough water.

(Adding one Tbsp of oil instead of 1 tsp in this recipe reduces cooking time to 25 minutes and also makes the chakli a little softer)

Put the mixture into a chakli press and press out round swirls of the dough onto a greased baking tray, working closely from the centre to the outside to the swirls approximately 2" diameter. 

You will get about 30 chaklis.

Bake these chaklis in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees C for 30 to 35 minutes.
(Don't tempt to keep them for more time in oven , if you bake them more they will become hard)

Cool and Store them in an air tight container.

Enjoy your dish :)
