Kaliyadakka is a savoury fried crunchy snack. It is one of the special dishes of  Onam. I have given a modern taste by adding thyme and cheese which gives a true fusion taste to this lovely crunchy snack which the children will love it. Enjoy!!!


Preparation time: 15 mins
Cooking time: 15 mins
Serves: 14 pieces of each variety in a total of 28 pieces 

Ingredients

Coconut fresh grated: 3 tbsp
Butter: 2 tbsp
Black sesame Seeds: 1/2 tsp
Cumin seeds: 1/2 tsp

For Italian twist
Thyme 1/2 tsp
Red chili flakes 1/2 tsp
Cheese chopped into small cubes 40g

 Finale
Oil: for deep frying

Method:
Traditional
Heat a nonstick pan and dry roast the split black gram flour on a medium flame.
Then when it starts changing colour add the rice flour to it.
Roast for a few minutes.
Shut the stove and let it cool.
Transfer the content into a big mixing bowl.
Add the salt, cumin seeds, and black sesame seeds.
Then add the grated coconut  and butter.
Rub the ingredients into each other that it resembles bread crumbs.
Now with the help of  warm water make a soft dough out of it.
Cover and keep it aside for 5 minutes.
Now uncover and knead softly with oil.
Make small balls out of it, about half an inch, taking care that there is no crack visible.

Italian Twist
When half the dough is finished. Then to the remaining dough add the thyme and red chilli flakes and mix it thoroughly.
Now take a small portion of the dough,
Put a cube of cheese in between and roll the ball again and give it a cylindrical shape. Keep it aside. Similarly, make all the balls and finish up the dough.

Finale
Now heat oil in a pan for frying.
When medium hot, drop the round balls, that is the traditional kaliyadakka in it. Fry on medium flame until crisp and take it out.
Similarly, fry the Modern or Italian flavoured Kaliyadakka.
Take it out and enjoy!

Recipe Notes: 
when making in Otg or Air dryer add a little bit if more butter  about 10g more.
One can make sweetened Kaliyadakka, simply add jaggery powder or sugar powder to it about 1/2 cup and decrease the salt to a pinch only to the Traditional kaliyadakka mix.. All the remaining  ingredients will be same.
