Baked Rice flour Chakali (बेक्ड चकली)

Baked Rice Flour Swirls (बकेद चकली )

Chakali one of the main item in faral. In olden days Chakali was specially made during Diwali only. But these days you go to any store and you find chakali. In Maharashtra Chakali is made from a flour specially made using various pulses called "Bhajani" ( भाजणी)

Here in the US bhajani was not easily available, so I made Chakali's out of Rice flour। After searching a couple of Grocery Stores in Dallas, I finally found Bhajani. My husband loves chakali he prefers to eat the Bhajani chakali when its hot, so i've decided to make the chakali's on Diwali day ( नरक चतुर्दशी ) but today i made chakali using Rice Flour. Lemme share the recipe with you. This is fat free recipe so all you diet conscious people try it and enjoy.

Makes 15 chakali's

Ingredients (साहित्य) :

1 cup Rice flour

2 tsp oil (hot)

2 tbsp low fat योगुर्ट (दही)

1/2 tsp asafoetida (हिंग )

Salt to taste

1 tsp Oil for greasing

Method (कृति):

Combine the rice flour, hot oil, asafoetida ( हिंग) & salt in a bowl & mix well. Add curd and little water to make a soft dough. Place this mixture in the chakli mould and form chaklis’s about 2” diameter on a baking sheet. I used the parchment paper to line the baking sheet. Spread a little oil or you can use the cooking oil spray. Preheat the oven to 350F and bake the chaklis for 20-30 mins. When you see the top of the chakli turning into slight brown flip it and continue baking. Take the baking sheet out of the oven and let the chakali's cool. Enjoy the low fat chakali this Diwali
