Рецепт Pappu (Uppu) Chekkalu
Ingredients:
- 4 cups Rice Flour
- ¼ cup Butter, softened
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- ¼ cup Bengal Gram (Pachi Senagapappu, Chana Daal)
- A small piece of Ginger
- 6-7 Green Chilies (adjust according to taste)
- Some Curry leaves
- Salt
- Oil to deep fry
Preparation:
Wash and soak chana dal in water for 30-60 minutes until it becomes soft.
Grind ginger and green chilies together into a paste. Keep aside.
Mix
together rice flour + butter + cumin seeds + curry leaves +
ginger-green chili paste + soaked dal + salt into a thick paste/dough
using a little water as required.
Heat
the oil in a deep-bottomed pan.
Take small lumps of the rice flour
dough and flatten into thin circles.
You can use your hand or a plastic
sheet for doing this. I used Ziploc bag for this purpose.
Carefully
drop these circles into the hot oil and deep fry until they turn golden
brown in color.
Then remove from the oil and place on a paper towel to
remove excess oil.
Repeat the same process with remaining dough.
Enjoy these yummy pappu chekkalu any time.
