chegodilu recipe | chakodi recipe | chekodi or kadboli | andhra ring murukku with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and tasty deep-fried snack recipe made with rice flour and dry spices. it is a popular snack from the andhra cuisine, which has a strong resemblance to the popular karnataka based kodubale, yet there is a significant difference between these two. the recipe is typically made ahead in advance and stored in an airtight container so that it can be served later as a snack with a cup of tea or coffee.
as i mentioned earlier, the chakodi recipe is very similar to the karnataka special kodubale. as a matter of fact, both are mentioned as ring murukku as both have the same shape. however, there are many differences between these two. to begin with, the colour of these are completely different. if you had observed the above photo, you can realise that the colour of this snack is bright yellowish in colour. whereas, for kodubale, it is more of dark brown in colour. in addition, the taste also differs. chekodi is more of a spicy and have a sharp savoury taste. whereas the kodubale, can be considered as a mild snack with less spice in it. further, the karnataka variations get fried chana dal powder or putani powder which makes it less spicy and also less brittle. whereas in this recipe, i have added just rice flour and hence makes it more crisp and brittle in texture.
furthermore, i would like to highlight some more tips, suggestions and variations to the chegodilu recipe. firstly, the dough for this recipe has to be soft and also be smooth to be shaped. hence make sure to stick with proportion for water and rice flour ratio. secondly, even before adding rice flour, i would heavily recommend adding all spices to the water. this would help to achieve the more crisp and brittle shape and texture to the kadboli snack. lastly, i would heavily recommend to deep fry these in small batches so that it gets fried evenly. also once the deep fry is done, preserve these in an airtight container for longer shelf life.
