Khara Kaddi or Kharada Kaddi in Kannada literally translates to Spicy Sticks and is made using chickpea or gram flour spiced with turmeric, red chilli powder and cumin or carom seeds. It is made using Chakkuli or Murukku Press, a device designed to press savoury snacks in Indian sub-continent into hot oil. As the name suggests, these are spicy snacks and hence try not to reduce the amount of chilli powder too much as it will lose its charm and authenticity. The addition of cumin and carom gives it a distinct taste when bite into it and the hing/asafoetida not only adds punch of flavour but also helps to keep the heart burn at bay if you end up binging them! :) The result is crispy, crunchy and spicy sticks of delight which you will love to snack on. It is one of those snacks which is easy to make and easy to fall in love with.
