To begin making Gujarati Khichu recipe, we have to first get the dough for the khichu ready. 

Preheat a steamer with water in it.  Meanwhile, in another pan heat 2 cups of water and add ajwain, cumin  seeds along with salt, ginger & green chillies.

Let the water come to a rolling boil.

Without reducing the heat, quickly dust the rice flour all over the boiling water. (It is important that you scatter the flour all over the boiling water) Do not stir. 

Allow the water to rise up on its own. It will begin to moisten the rice flour within 30 seconds or so.

Using the back of a wooden ladle carefully (so as not to splatter the hot water) and vigorously stir the mix for a minute.

Remove the Khichu from the heat and pour the Khichu mixture in a bowl. 

When the Khichu dough is hot yet but easy to handle, pinch the dough in 12 balls of equal size.

Make an indent in the centre like that of a doughnut. 

Transfer these Khichu onto the steamer and steam them for 5 – 7 minutes

Remove the Khichu from the steamer and serve hot.

Serve Gujarati Khichu Recipe as a healthy evening snack along with a hot cup of Masala Chai or by itself as a light evening snack.
