Ingredients

  • 100 gms Gram flour / Besan
  • 50 gms Black lentil / Urad daal flour
  • 2 tsp Cooking Oil
  • Salt to taste
  • 3/4 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Red chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp Mango Powder / Amchoor Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Black Salt / Kala Namak
  • Enough Cooking Oil to deep fry

Instructions

  • In a big wide plate add gram flour,urad daal flour,salt and baking soda and mix and then sieve twice so every thing get mixed well.
  • Add luke warm water and make a medium stiff dough .
  • Cover with a lid and rest the dough for 20 minutes.
  • Now using a belan or a heavy pestle beat the dough for around 10 minutes
  • You can add 1 tsp oil if it sticks to the belan.(I wrapped the dough in a zip lock bag and then crushed it with the pestle.
  • Then make equal size balls from the dough and keep aside.
  • Take a dough ball and roll to make a thin chapati.
  • cut the chapati into thin strips and repeat the process with all the balls.
  • Heat enough oil in a wide deep pan.
  • Now add few choraphali strips in the pan and deep fry on medium heat.
  • when you add the strips in the oil ,gently press them with the spatula,it helps to puff nicely.
  • Turn sides snad fry it golden in colour,dont give a dark colour.
  • Drain on a paper napkin when done.
  • Let it cool down completely then store in an airtight jar.
  • Mix black salt, red chili powder and mango powder in a bowl and sprinkle this spice mix over the choraphali just before serving

Notes

NOTE-
Don't add spice mix on all the choraphalis you have fried ,else the salt can make them soggy.Just sprinkle before serving.
