INSTANT CHAKLI OR INSTANT SNACK

INGREDIENTS;

3 cups of instant idli powder
20gms of butter(room temperature)
salt to taste
1 tsp of jeera
water
oil for deep frying

METHOD;

In a large bowl, put the instant idli powder and add salt and mix.
Add the jeera
Put the butter and mix very well.
Now slowly add water little by little to form a soft dough.
Remember that the dough should be soft.
Make palm size balls of the dough.And always keep the dough covered.
Now take a chakli maker or a cookie press(use the single star shaped plate) and put the dough in it and keep aside.
In the meanwhile heat oil in a big kadhai for deep frying.
Also keep a full size butterpaper or wax paper or greased banana leaf ready
Make a spiral shape or chakli shape with the dough using the chakli maker on the wax paper.
Make about 10-15 chaklis and keep ready.
Put a small piece of the dough into the oil to check the temperature of the oil.
It is hot enough for the piece of dough to rise instantly put the chaklis one by one and deep fry it till it is golden color.
Take it out on a paper napkin to drain out the excess oil and your chaklis are ready to be served.

P.S; IF YOU FEEL THAT THE DOUGH IS DRY YOU CAN ADD LITTLE WATER.
ALSO IF THE SALT IS LESS WHEN YOU TASTE THE DOUGH,DISSOLVE SALT IN WATER AND ADD IT TO THE DOUGH.
DEEP FRY THE CHAKLIS ON MEDIUM TO LOW HEAT SO THAT THEY BECOME CRISPY
