Chakkuli

Chakkuli, a namkeen snack that is loved by all, is eaten during the rains or otherwise. This is made mostly during ShriKrishna Janma Ashtami in Udupi. My mom's chakkulies are heavenly and I am sure even Lord Krishna loves my mom's chakkulies. Here is the recipe of Chakkuli that's world famous in Udupi  :)

You will need:

Urad Dal - 1 Cup
Rice Flour - 3 Cups (Amma says she uses a little more rice - about 4 cups)
Butter - 1 Lemon size
Jeera/Yallu (Til) - 1 tbsp
Salt
Oil for Frying

  1. Roast Urad Dal till it is light brown. It shouldn't be roasted too much. Just roast it till it starts giving out a nice flavour.
  2. Grind the roasted Urad dal into a powder.
  3. Mix it along with the rest of the ingredients and make a dough along with a little water.
  4. Add the dough in a chakkuli mould and press it to make a spiral shape.
  5. Heat oil and fry the spiral shaped chakkuli
