Ribbon Fritters



Ingredients
FOR THE DOUGH
Chickpea flour 1 Cup
Rice flour 2 Cups
Turmeric powder 1⁄4 Teaspoon
Asafoetida powder 1⁄4 Teaspoon
Red chili powder To taste
Salt To Taste
Water As needed to make a soft dough
FOR FRYING THE FRITTERS
Vegetable oil As needed for deep frying
Curry leaves 10 Medium (Optional)

Things You Will Need
Fritter maker (chakli press) with wide slits
Food processor

Directions
GETTING READY
1. Into a food processor add the chickpea flour, rice flour, turmeric powder, asafoetida powder, red chili powder and salt. To this gradually add water and combine to form a soft dough. (The dough should be of a pizza dough consistency)
2. Fill the cylinder of the fritter press with the dough.

MAKING
3. Heat oil in a large pan for deep frying. (Before you begin frying, make sure the oil is hot enough by putting a small piece of the dough into the oil. If the dough immediately starts bubbling, the oil is ready)
4. Using the fritter maker, press the dough into the oil using a circular motion.
5. Once one side turns golden brown, flip it over and fry until the other side is the same color.
6. Remove the fritters into a paper towel to soak the excess oil.
7. You may fry some fresh curry leaves in the same oil, if desired and sprinkle them over the fritters before storing them.
8. Allow the fritters to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

SERVING
9. Serve with a hot cup of tea or coffee and enjoy!

TIPS
The fritters will stick together while frying. Once they cool, you can break them off into smaller pieces and you can snack on them like chips.
