Today's recipe is a savory snack item from Andhra Pradesh. Chakodi is made with rice flour and spices. The interesting part of making this snack is shaping them.This is the first time, i made this snack and we love it a lot. It's almost similar to the one we used to buy at sweet stall.
In shops, Chakodi are in bright red color, may be they use artificial color or kashmiri chili powder. I didnt use food color here, if you wish you can use it. Now let see the procedure
