Bhajni Chakli

-
Bhajni Chakli is one the most famous dishes which is made on the occassion of Diwali festival in Maharashtra.Bhajni is nothing but the combination flour of roasted rice, pulses and some spices.Chakli made out of this flour defers from other types of chakli because of its dilicious taste.
Let's see how to make it :

Ingredients for Bhajni Flour or Bhajni

  1. Rice-  1 kg
  2. Split Bengal Gram (Chana Dal)-  1/2 kg
  3. Split Black Gram (Urad Dal)-  1/4 kg

  1. Coriander Seeds (Dhaiya)-  50 grams
  2. Cumin Seeds(Jeera)-  25 grams

Ingredients for Chakli 

For each 2 cups of Bhajni flour:
  1. Red chilly powder - 1 and 1/2tablespoon
  2. Sesame seeds - 2 tablespoons
  3. Salt as per taste 
  4. Cooking oil for deep frying 
  5. Water 1and 1/2 cup  
At first, we have to make bhajni.For this,in a kadhai ,Dry roast Rice, Chana Dal and Urad dal one by one. We have to roast these ingredients just till they slightly change their colour.Not too much. Then in the same kadhai, add Dhaniya and Jeera and roast them also. Now let the all roasted ingredients completely cooled down.
Once cooled completely, grind them to a fine flour.This flour is called the Bhajni Flour or Bhajni.Siewe this bhajni flour.
You can store this flour in an air tight container for 4 to 5 months.
Now take 2 cups of this flour in a bowl. Heat 1 and 1/2  cups water.When water starts boling switch off the gas.Add 2 tablespoons of oil ,1and 1/2 tablespoons of red chilly powder,1 tablespoon of white sesame seeds and 1 tablespoon of salt(or as per your taste).
Mix well and add the Bhajni floor to this water. Mix it very well. Combine the Bhajni flour with all the spices,oil and water. Let it rest for 10 minutes with closed lid.Now kneed this dough to make chaklies.The dough should not be too tight or too loose.
Take a portion of the dough and make a cylindrical shape and insert it into a chakli  maker or chakli press. Make spirals or chaklies on a piece of butter paper. Deep fry these chaklies on medium hot oil untill golden colour and a  nice crunch. Store in an airtight container .Enjoy !
