Wheat Chakli

This is a recipe I had read in one of the many cookery books but right now I fail to remember which one!! This is also my favourite savoury.

Ingr :
Atta - 200 Gms.
Ajwain - 2 tsps
Jeera - 2 tsps
Oil - 3 tbsps
Salt - 1 tsp or as per taste.
Red Chilli Powder - 2 tsps.

Method :
Sieve the atta and place it on a muslin cloth.
Bundle the cloth nicely and secure the atta with rubber bands.
Place this bundle in a bowl and put it in a pressure cooker.
Cook in the cooker for about 15 mins WITHOUT the whisle.(As with idlis )
Remove from the cooker and cool the bundle.
Break the atta and crush them till they become flour.
Add the rest of the ingr. and make a firm but soft dough with water.
Heat oil for deep frying.
Make chaklis with the chakli maker and place them on a dry cloth.
Remove one chakli at a time and deep fry. (You may deep fry 2 or more)
Cool and store in an airtight container.

Its a nice alternative to murukkus.... ! or simply delicious for a change!
