Ingredients
  

FOR MAKING KURKURE

  • 1 cup poha/flattened rice
  • 1/4 cup besan/chickpea flour
  • 1/4 cup corn flour or ararot
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup water
  • Oil as per need

FOR SEASONING

  • 1 tsp chaat masala
  • 1 tsp kashmiri red chilli powder

Instructions
 

MAKING OF KURKURE

  • Grind poha into a very fine powder and take out in a bowl.
  • Mix besan with powdered poha.
  • Pour water in a pan and also add salt in it.
  • When water begins to boil, switch off the heat.
  • Add besan poha mixture in water gradually and keep mixing. It will look like a lumpsy dough.
  • Cover the pan with a lid just for 5 minutes.
  • After the said time, take out the lumpsy dough in a bowl.
  • Add corn flour in it and knead into a normal dough. Do grease your hands before kneading the dough. Remember, don't add additional water for kneading. If finding difficulty in binding the dough, again grease your hands with oil and it works.
  • Now take a small pinch of dough and roll it round between your palms.
  • Further roll it again into a long string giving it a shape of kurkure as shown in picture below.
  • Likewise make such shape out of the entire dough.

METHOD 1 : DEEP FRYING

  • Put the kurkure shaped dough pieces into oil for frying. Keep the heat to medium and oil should also be medium hot.
  • Only put as much pieces as much the pan can accommodate.
  • THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW that the hot oil may splash forcebly while frying kurkure pieces, so precautions are mandatory. Do keep the children away.
  • While frying, hold a lid like a shield and cover the pan partially so that oil splashes shouldn't jump over towards your side. If the oil splits, it will hit the lid only and go back to pan itself. To understand it in a proper way, do watch the video given in this post.
  • After couple of minutes, when you realise that oil has settled down & is not splitting around, you can proceed ahead without the shield of lid.
  • Once pieces turn slightly golden, take them out in a sieve so that extra oil releases.
  • Your deep fried kurkure are ready.

METHOD 2 : BAKING

  • Switch on the oven for pre-heating @160℃ for 10 minutes with both the rods on.
  • Grease a baking tin and arrange kurkure pieces on it.
  • Brush the pieces too with oil.
  • Put the tray in the middle rack of oven and bake @160℃ for 30-35 minutes with both the rods on.
  • After 35 minutes, shift the tray to top rack of oven and bake @230℃ for 3 to 4 minutes with only top rod on. This is very important to keep eyes inside oven during this time otherwise kurkure may burn.
  • Take them out of oven and let them cool.
  • Your baked kurkure are ready.

SEASONING OF KURKURE

  • Mix red chilli powder and chaat masala together.
  • Sprinkle it on kurkure and mix well.
  • Kurkure are finally and completely ready.
  • Enjoy.

Notes

1. As kurkure are kids favourite, how much red chilli needs to be added is at your own choice.
2. Prefer to use kashmiri red chilli powder only because it is less spicy and more colourful.
