  • 1 cup Rice flour roasted
  • 1 big Beetroot
  • 1 tbsp Melted butter
  • 1 tsp Cumin seeds or jeera
  • 1 tsp Sesame seeds or til optional
  • ½ tsp Chili powder
  • ½ tsp asafoetida
  • Salt- to taste
  • Water quantity less than ¼ cup to make the dough

Instructions
 

  • Dice the beetroot to small pieces and cook with ¼ cup water till the beetroot has turned tender and let it cool down.
  • Puree the cooked beetroot with ¼ cup water to a smooth paste. In a large bowl, combine roasted rice flour, cumin seeds, chili powder, asafoetida, salt, and melted butter.
  • Add the pureed beetroot and combine it well.
  • Add water little by little and knead the dough till it turns soft.
  • Do not add too much water and make the dough too soft and watery.
  • Heat enough oil for deep frying in a frying pan over medium heat.
  • Take the Chakri mold and attach a star-shaped disc in it.
  • Place a handful of dough into the mold and close with its lid.
  • First, test if the oil is ready- by dropping a small piece of dough into the oil, if the oil makes the sizzling sound when you drop the dough, the oil is ready.
  • Gently slide the Chakri dough into the oil.
  • Deep fry by fully submerging the dough and let it turn crispy.
  • Transfer to a kitchen paper towel and let cool down.
  • You can store it in an airtight container for a week.
