Green Chilli Chekkalu

Green Chilli Chekkalu – From Chittamma’s Kitchen

Ah, my dear, these Green Chilli Chekkalu are a spicy treat straight from the old village kitchens! Made with rice flour, crushed green chillies, curry leaves, butter, and soaked chana dal — each one is pressed by hand and fried till crisp and golden.

In the old days, we made them for festivals and long journeys, storing them in big tins to enjoy for days. Every bite brings that fiery kick, the crunch of tradition, and the loving warmth of Chittamma’s kitchen.
