     1/2  gram          rice flour
   5      tablespoons   roasted urad dhal flour
   5      tablespoons   butter
   1      tablespoon    cumin seeds

   1      kilogram      cooking oil -- for frying
 

Preparation:

Mix rice flour, urad dhal flour, butter, cumin seeds and salt and form a dough. Take a lump of dough in your fist and using the fingers to push the dough out, form a rope-like pattern, shaping it into a spiral at the same time - you can use a circular board of the desired size as guide. Make five circles for a small spiral and nine circles for a big spiral. Each time you run out of dough, take another lump of dough and start again, connecting one end with the other to form a continuous spiral. Deep-fry the spirals in a kuali of oil until golden brown on both sides. Makes 10 pieces
