Khichu or Khichiyu is a dough for making papad. People also eat it as a snack. It is made from rice flour, but, other flours are sometimes used. The snack is ready by cooking flour in water like porridge with cumin seeds and an alkaline salt called Papad Khar (An alkaline salt with major components as sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate) and then steaming the lump. It is often served with oil and chilli powder.
