Instructions

First thoroughly clean mint leaves (only the leaves part).
Then make a paste of mint leaves in a blender along with little amount of water.
Do not add much water, even prefer not to use water to make the paste.
In a mixing bowl, take rice flour.
Add the mint paste and mix well, so that a crumble texture will form.

Mix well.
Add boiled water to this mixture.
Give a quick mix using a spoon and keep aside covered for 15 to 20 minutes.
Then knead it to make a smooth dough without any cracks.
Take a well greased chakli mold attached with star shaped hole.
Heat oil in a deep pan on medium heat.
Stuff a portion of the dough inside the mold and slowly press in circular motion on a plate lined with plastic sheet till the desired spiral size is reached.
