Grind the Urad Dal and Mung Dal to a paste.

Then grind the Dough in a stone grinder in order to loosen it.
Then prepare 5-6 equal sized balls from the Dough.
Roll the balls like thin chapatis and cut them into long and thin half inch broad strips with a knife. Roll all the balls and prepare strips in the same manner.
Heat the Oil in a Kadai and deep-fry them on a slow flame until they become crispy.
Remove the strips from the Oil and sprinkle Salt and Red Chili Powder on them and mix it well.
Deep-fry the all strips and sprinkle Salt and Red Chili Powder in the same manner.
When the strips will cool down keep them into a plastic bag and then into a container.
