Hai friends today i am coming with one of Andhra Snack called Chegodaalu.In my family we all love this snack.Its my all time favourite spicy snack.This we give for all occassions like Marriage Sari and also for Craddle ceremony.My Mom and Grand Ma used to do this during Sankranthi.So i too love to do during Sankranthi.Ok lets go to the recipe.

Ingredients:

Rice Flour-2 cups
Sesame Seeds-1 cup
Moong dal-1/2 cup
Jeera-1 tsp
Salt to taste
Chilli Powder-Acc to ur taste
Oil for Deep frying
Water -Required to knead the dough

Method:

First take wide and deep bottomed bowl and add the 2 cups o rice flour.
TO this add the sesame seeds,moongdal,salt,chilli powder and jeera one by one and whisk it well.
Now add water slowly and mix well the dough like smooth.It must be thiner than chapathi dough consistency.
Now place the wet cloth on the table.
Take small amount of dough and place on the wet towel and roll it and joint the two ends and it forms like a circle and place on the cloth.Now do all the dough like this and make it dry for 30 minutes.
In the mean time we have to heat oil for deep frying.
When the oil gets heat place the chegodi in the oil one by one and fry until the chegodi turnss to brown colour.
When it changes the colour take out from the oil and place it on the paper to absorb excess oil.
