An authentic Indian specialty cooked with freshly ground roasted spices, caramelised onions, and aromatic herbs in the traditional style.
Combine the rice flour, soaked chana dal, chili powder, asafoetida, curry leaves, salt and hot butter in a bowl.
Add water gradually and knead into a firm, crack-free dough.
Pinch small portions and flatten each on a greased sheet into thin discs; prick with a fork to prevent puffing.
Deep fry the discs in medium-hot oil until crisp and golden on both sides.
Drain on paper and cool completely before serving or storing.
