Ingredients
•All purpose flour (maida) .............................. 2 cups
•Salt ...............................................................as required
•Baking Soda ................................................ a pinch
•Ajwain / Vaamu ............................................ 1 tsp

• Green chilies ................................................ 4
•Oil ................................................................ for frying
Preparation
Sieve Maida. Add salt, soda, ajwain, sesame seeds, melted ghee or dalda to the maida. Combine all the ingredients together. Grind green chilies and ginger to a fine paste without adding water. Add this paste to the maida and mix. Add sufficient warm water to the above mixture and make a dough. Take small amount of dough and shape it into a small ring as shown in the above picture. Repeat the process for the remaining dough. Allow these maida rings to rest for 1/2 hr on a greased surface. Later heat oil in a deep frying pan and fry until crisp.
Note: Instead of green chilies and ginger you may add red chili powder. Green chilies and ginger gives nice flavor and color to these chekodis so, I have added them. Instead of ajwain you may add cumin seeds.
