Jhilinga (Nepalese Rice Fritters)

Jhilinga is a traditional Nepalese food popular specially during festivals. Jhilinga is super crunchy, and is favoured by people of all age groups.

Ingredients

• Rice flour
• Water
• Food coloring (for varieties of color)

Steps

1. Boil water in a deep pot.
2. Slowly add the required amount rice flour and food color into the boiling water, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. It is same as the process of making dhindo but without the ghee. The mixture should have a good balance and consistency of flour and water.
3. After it is cooked, process the dough through a noodle machine that can make really thin strips.
4. Shape the dough strips into circles. Set out in the sun for a few days to dry and set.
5. Once evenly set, deep fry them in vegetable oil.
