Instructions:
-
Grind Rice and Urad Dal: In a mixer grinder, grind the rice and urad dal together until you achieve a coarse texture.
-
-
Rest the Mixture: Set the ground mixture aside for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to settle.
-
Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for a few minutes until it becomes frothy.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground rice and dal mixture with coriander powder, finely chopped onions, chopped green chilies, crushed cashews, and salt. Mix well to form a dough-like consistency.
-
Let it Rest: Cover the bowl and let the mixture rest for 60 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
-
Heat Oil: In a deep frying pan or wok, heat oil over medium heat until it reaches the frying temperature.
-
Shape and Fry: Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into round, flat tikkis. Carefully drop these tikkis into the hot oil.
-
Fry Until Golden: Fry the tikkis on low flame, flipping occasionally, until they turn golden brown and crisp on both sides. It should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Serve Hot: Once the tikkis are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oil and drain excess oil on paper towels. Serve hot with a side of coconut chutney for a delightful evening snack or a light lunch.
Enjoy the crispy goodness of these Chawal Ki Tikkis, a perfect blend of flavors and textures that will leave everyone craving for more!
