Well i was in a dilemma whether or not to post this my chegodilu totally went wrong.. i ‘ll start with the recipe Srivalli send..
Chegodilu -
Ingredients:
Rice flour – 3/4 cupAll purpose flour/ Maida – 1/4 cup
Ghee – 2 tbsp
Ajwain – 1/4 tsp
Red chilli powder – 1/4 tsp
Turmeric really a pinch
Salt as per taste
Oil to deep fry
Boil 1 cup water in a bowl, add salt to it.
When the water starts boiling, remove from stove, add ajwain, red chilli powder, turmeric and flours. Stir with a ladle to make sure it is mixed well. Pour ghee on it and cover.
Once it cools, knead it to form smooth dough.
Pinch out small balls of dough and roll them like threads between your palm, bring the ends together to form into small rings
Fry them in hot oil til they turn golden in colour. You can follow the same procedure as the first recipe..
I followed the recipe just like it but i dont know why as i added the floursto the water it was very watery.. so i added 1 more cup of flour thinking i might have added 2 cups of water still no.. it was still watery. Then i added one more cup of flour and then i could make a soft dough! but still it was not in that exact shape because it ws soft..
well i have to now wait for the other challengers recipe and read how they did in the challenge!
i boiled the water till it past beyond the boiling point LOL! i dont know why this turned out to be like this.. may be because of the rice flour.. i got ready made flour and i swear im not goin gto get that brand ever again! before plannin gto make this i had told my kids im goin gto make onion rigs
but instead it turned out like fries and my 3 yr old was asking is this rings?
Well this post will also go to the Kitchen Mishap Event!

Hi Shifa, for some reason I am not able to see your picture. However reading your post was good. Whether or not in shape, they might have been a treat. Ok picture loaded too. I disagree you have some good looking chekodis there.
