Ingredients

  • 3 cups Rice Flour
  • 1 cup Urad Dal
  • 2 tbsp Carom Seeds
  • 1 tbsp Cumin Seeds
  • 3 - 4 tbsp Sesame Seeds
  • 50 gms Butter
  • Oil for Frying
  • Water to soften the dough

Instructions

  1. Wash the Urad Dal and soak for 1 Hour. Boil the Dal in a Pressure Cooker adding water in the ratio of 2:1 (Water : Dal)
  2. Take the Dal out and grind it into a fine creamy paste. You may use the water in which the Dal has been boiled to help in grinding.
  3. Add Rice Powder, Butter, Ajwain, Zeera and Til and Salt to the Dal paste.
  4. Mix into a clear soft dough.
  5. Put a little dough in a mould and press swirls onto a flat ladle with holes. Press the edges of the jantika swirls together.
  6. Lower the Jantika into the hot oil. You can put 5-6 in at one time. Let the Jantikalu fry on medium heat till they turn to a pale golden brown colour. Drain the oil and take out.
  7. Spread the Jantikalu on a colander and let them cool down completely. Store in an air-tight box. These will stay good for at least 10 days.
