“Khichu” in Gujarati is actually a dough from which traditional papads are prepared. However, this dough alone is so delicious with raw groundnut oil that people eat it as a snack.

Khichu can be prepared with different flours, rice, Jowar, Bajra or any other.

It is a quick snack.

I chanced upon this snack recipe while looking up for something oil-free and gluten-free, yet tasty, to make for my daughter and this was an instant hit.

I have taken the liberty of marrying the Andhra Spice powder with the Gujarati Khichu and they lived happily ever after.

Ingredients

• Jowar flour: ½ cup
• Water: 1 cup
• Cumin seeds: ½ tsp
• Sesame seeds: 1tsp
• Green chilli: 1 no(Finely sliced)
• Rock salt: ½ tsp

Method

• In a pan, place sesame seeds, cumin seeds, sliced chillies, salt and water.
• Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the flame and gradually add jowar flour, stirring continuously, preferably with a whisk.
• When all the water is absorbed and the mix begins to looks like a soft dough, cover the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes without increasing the flame.
• Turn off the flame and leave it to rest for 10 mins.
• Serve hot with Andhra spice mix
