Non Fried Besan Chakli, Diabetic Friendly
This simple and delicious recipe is a real treat for diabetics and weight watchers. Chaklis, the popular Indian snack, is usually deep-fried and contains loads of calories and if made in a South Indian style it makes use of high glycemic index ingredient – rice flour too. Here's how to make them using besan (which being low in glycemic index, assists in controlling blood sugar levels) and 1 tsp of oil to near perfection by baking them in an oven. Munch on them at anytime of the day when hunger strikes.
Preparation Time: 5 minutes.
Cooking Time: Nil.
Serves 5.
Baking Time: 35 minutes.
Baking Temperature: 180°C (360°F).
1 cup besan (Bengal gram flour)
¼ cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
2 tsp sesame seeds (til)
½ tsp chilli powder
¼ tsp asafoetida (hing)
¼ tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
2 tsp hot oil
2 tsp curds (dahi)
Salt to taste
1. Combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl, mix well and knead into a soft dough using enough water.
2. Put the mixture into a chakli press and press out round swirls of the dough onto a greased baking tray, working closely from the centre to the outside of the swirls to make approximately 50 mm. (1½") diameter swirl. You will get about 25 chaklis.
3. Bake them in a pre-heated oven at 180°C (360°F) for 30 minutes.
4. Cool and store in an air-tight container.
