Preparation Time: 5 mins
Baking time: 35 to 40 minutes.
Baking Temperature: 180°C (360°F)
Makes 30 chaklis.
Ingredients

• 1 cup rice flour (chawal ka atta)
• 1/2 cup low-fat curds (dahi)
• 2 tsp sesame seeds (til)

1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, mix well and knead into a semi-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 to the swirls (approximately 50 mm. (2") diameter). You will get about 30 chaklis.

4. Cool and store in an air-tight container.
