Chekkalu

Ingredients

Rice flour                                4 cups
(green)chilli ginger paste          4 tbsp (u could use more)
curry leaves                            1 cup (finely chopped)
Raw chick peas(pachi sengapappu) 1/4 cup(u could use little less than that) (marinate it for 2 hours)
salt
butter                                      6 tbsp (approximately)
oil for deep frying


1.Mix all the ingredients together
2.sprinkle little by little bit water on it.Water should help it in making it like a ball and just using fingures if we can press it like a patty then that is enough.It  may take 2tbsp of water.little more if needed .It need not be sticky.It need not be like a chapathi dough at all.More thicker than that.

3.Deep fry on in oil.


** IF snacks are too hard then it is time to add little more butter.
** IF snacks are too fluffy or not holding in shape when u fry them in oil that means u added
     more butter.
** Always start off with frying just one or two so that u can know what is wrong accordingly u can adjust the mixture.

** IF u feel that the snacks are not cooked from inside,they increase the flame little (Donot over heat)for couple of minutes and reduce the heat before adding the snacks.
