Let this be my first post.I never liked this item in India.After coming here I was searching in all shops for snack items..Nothing I liked.Then I started preparing my own .My hubby liked this very much.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rice flour
• 2 cup gram flour
• 1 tsp red chilly powder
• 1/2 tsp asafoetida
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp jeera powder(optional)
• Warm water
• oil

Preparation:

1. Mix rice flour with warm water to make a soft dough
2. Add chilly powder,asafoetida,salt,jeera ,gram flour and water to make the dough -dough will be very soft in this stage
3. Take a seva press with the tape shape lid and put the dough prepared to the seva.
4. Heat the oil in a tava, and press the seva in a circular fashion to fill the entire oil.Fry until golden brown.-You should be very careful ,otherwise it will become brown color.
5. Take out the entire circle piece from the oil to a tissue paper and break it into smaller pieces.The picture shows pakkavada before breaking into pieces.
