Chegodilu/Chekodi Indian Cooking Challenge - Nov

This is my first entry for ICC. Im really happy it was a simple recipe. I have eaten Chegodilu in Bangalore, we get it in many bakery shops, but I never knew their name. We(My friends and me) used to call this as ring murukku.

This is a very crunchy snack, and it got over in a jiffy. Thanks to Srivalli to teach me this wonderful snack.

Rice flour - 1 cup

Moong dal - 2 tbsp

Water - 1 cup

Ghee - 1 tbsp

Cumin seeds - 1 tsp

Sesame seeds - 1-1/2 tsp

Chilli powder - 1-1/2 tsp

Salt and oil as required

Steps:

1. Soak the moong dal in water for 30 minutes.

2. Boil water in a pan, then add salt, moong dal and ghee.

3. When water comes to a boil, add rice flour little at a time and using a ladle keep stirring continously.
