Preparation time: 10 min
Cooking time: 10 min
Serves: 4
Ingredients: (measuring cup used = 240ml)
- 1 cup gram flour / chana dal flour
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder
- 1/4 tsp carom seeds / ajwain seeds / Oma kalu
- 1/2 tsp salt
- A generous pinch of asafoetida
- 2 tbsp hot oil
- Oil to deep fry
Instructions for making kara kaddi:
- First sieve the gram flour. In a wide bowl take sieved gram flour, red chili powder, carom seeds, salt and asafoetida. Give a quick mix.
- Add in 2 tbsp of hot oil and mix well again.
- Now sprinkle water little by little and prepare kara kaddi or khara kaddi dough. The dough should be having very thick sticky paste consistency. Or I would say little thinner than soft chapathi dough.
- Now take kara kaddi mould or murukku mould or chakkuli acchu, with the plate having 3 - 4 holes.
- Now fill in the dough in to the murukku mould using a spoon.
- Heat the oil in a wide frying pan. And press the dough directly in to the hot oil using the mould. Fry under medium flame until the bubbles or sound has stopped.
