½
cup

½
tsp

Instructions
To make the rice flour, wash and soak rice in water for 4 hours.
Drain the water and spread on a clean cloth.
Let it dry for 15 minutes. Don’t let it dry for a long time. It should not be dried completely. Moisture should be there.
Grind the wet rice in a mixie to a fine powder. Then sieve it well and collect the fine flour and crumbly flour separately.
Grind the crumbly flour in a mixer to a fine flour and sieve it.
Take one and half cups of prepared rice flour in a mixing bowl.
Add salt, ajwain seeds and sesame seeds to it and mix well.
Add water little by little and make a dough.
The dough should be not too tight or sticky.
Now spread a clean cotton cloth on a flat surface.
Wet your hands and take a small portion of the dough in hand and pipe the dough into circles (refer the below video).
If the dough seems dry, sprinkle little water and mix.
Make all the dough to Sakinalu and let them dry for 1 – 2 hours.
Use a flat spatula or a flat plate for taking the sakinalu from the cloth. Carefully remove them from the cloth and set aside.
Heat oil in a pan for deep frying.
Slowly drop the sakinalu into the hot oil. Fry them on both sides on a medium flame till light golden color.
Remove from the oil and let them cool.
Store in an airtight container.
