Instructions

1
Dissolve the jaggery in warm water. Pour it through a strainer to remove any bits.
2
Mix the rice flour, fennel seeds and salt together. Knead in the jaggery water to make a soft, pliable dough.
3
Cover the dough with a damp cloth. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
4
Divide the dough into small balls. Gently flatten each ball into a thick disc using your palms.
5
Heat oil over medium heat in a kadai (deep curved pan).
6
Slide in the discs and fry on medium-low heat. Turn them occasionally until golden and crisp on the outside.
7
Drain the discs on kitchen paper. Let them cool slightly before serving.
