Soak the rice in water about 4 to 5 hrs.drain the water completely.dry the rice in a cotton cloth about 2 hrs.
                                       

In a grinder grind the rice into fine powder. In India usually the powder made in a mill.Here(in US) don't have this facility.so I used mixie to make this powder. sift the powder to separate the fine powder.to this add sesame seeds,ajwain,salt.

add few water to make soft dough.The dough like little bit thinner than chapathi dough.take small amount of dough make a round shape on a cloth by rolling the dough with fingers.making of sakinalu is shown in below video. 

 

repeat this process to remaining dough.let them to dry about 1 hr.

heat the oil in a skillet.with a flat shape spoon,Take the sakinalu.drop it into oil
