Ingredients

 
Moong daal(yellow) ½ cup
 
Maida(or all purpose flour) 2 cups
 
Sesame Seeds(white til) 1 tea spn
 
Cumin Seeds(jeera) 1 tea spn
 
Salt

Directions

1. Cook the moong daal till soft(preferably use pressure cooker). Mash them with a spoon.
2. Take the maida(or all purpose flour) in a cloth and tie a knot.Keep the flour bundle in a cooker vessel and steam it(without putting the weight) for around 10mins.
3. Cool the bundle and daal to room temperature.
4. Take out the flour from the bundle, add mashed daal, cumin, sesame seeds and salt.Mix into a dough(no need to add water, make the dough with the mashed daal).
5. Fill the dough in a chakli press and press into chakli shape on a flat board (use a plastic paper on the board to make it easier to lift the chaklis). If the chaklis break, knead the dough well before pressing them.
6. Heat oil. Lift the chaklis carefully from the paper/board(I used the cover of rice flour pack) and leave them in oil. (at any stage, chaklis should not break). Fry them on a medium flame. Take out on a clean kitchen towel.
7. When the chaklis are cooled to room temperature, store them in an airtight container.

It's a nice recipe. Though my chaklais became quite oily is that expected? or what might have gone wrong?
