Chef's Notes
Do not rush the kneading process! The moisture must be evenly distributed through the fine rice flour, or your crackers will fracture during the flattening stage like a poorly constructed castle wall.
Pro Tip
Want perfectly round crackers every time without flattening each one by hand? Press them gently using the flat bottom of a heavy steel tumbler directly on your oiled plastic sheet!
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you roll the dough balls too thick, your crackers will retain moisture inside, turning chewy and soggy within hours instead of staying crispy for a whole month!
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our royal jester claims that if you cannot hear the crunch of the cracker from across the castle, you clearly didn't fry it long enough.
The Culinary Science
Soaking the chana dal hydrates the protein structures inside the lentils, allowing them to soften just enough to fry into a crunchy texture rather than shattering your teeth like small pebbles.
