1/4 cup puffed gram (phutana or dalia) flour
1/2 tbsp. whole dalia
5-6 green chillies crushed
1/2 tbsp. coriander finely chopped
1 tsp. sesame seeds

1/2 tsp. red chilli powder
salt to taste
2 tbsp. oil
oil to deep fry

Method

1. Mix all ingredients, except oil to deep fry.

4. Grease one side of each.
5. Take a pingpong ball-sized dough, shape into round.
6. Place on one sheet, greased side up.
7. Cover with other sheet, greased side down.
8. Press with a flat surface, like the bottom of a heavy steel container.
9. Pick up carefully and let into the hot oil.
10. Repeat for more and fry a few at a time.
11. Fry on low/medium heat. Till golden and crisp.

Note: If the cracker is too hard, add some oil to the dough.
