Gathiya ( name as suggested by a reader of my page :) )

That day my family wanted to eat something deep fried and crispy, I searched for different flours in my storage and found urad flour, rice flour and bengal gram flour. I mixed these flours and added some freshly ground spices, made a dough and deep fried in oil. My family loved it :)

Here goes the simple recipe , all you need is
Rice flour - 1 cup
Urad flour - 1 cup
Bengal gram flour - 2 cups , more if necessary
Butter melted- 1 tbspn
Salt 
Spices - powdered cumin seeds(jeera), carom seeds(ajwain), pepper, turmeric powder, asoafetida, chilli powder

Method
Mix the flours and spices in a large bowl and pour in the melted butter and then slowly add water and knead the dough to a non sticky soft dough. Let it rest for 10 mins or a little more if are patient enough :) .. After that take the chakkali maker , select the mould and put the dough in it after smearing a little oil inside the chakkali maker and close it. Meanwhile keep the kadai on the stove and pour in oil. Once the oil is hot squeeze in the dough in the oil and then fry, strain it once cooked. Done! :) .. Let it cool and store in a airtight container 

Add more bengal gram flour if you feel the dough a little watery.
