Chirotes are very crunchy-crispy snack item.. You can make them either salty or sweet.
Here i have made them salty.
for making them you will need
-All purpose flour 1 cup
-1/4 cup semolina (little bit crushed on mixer/grinder)
-2-3 tbsp butter
-2/3 tbsp all purpose flour
(i know already i have noted all purpose flour in ingredients, but this is for making paste)
-salt (if you are making salty version)
-Powdered Sugar (if you want sweet version)
-water (for making dough)
-oil / ghee ( for frying)

for dough-
take 1 cup all purpose flour, 1/4 cup crushed semolina and salt (only in salty version).
add 2 tbsp hot oil (it makes chirote crunchy)
mix it with spoon
then add water
make a smooth dough, consistency should be such that you should be able to roll it with rolling pin.

make 7 small equal parts of that dough. in 4 parts add pink color, in 2 parts add green color and in remaining 1 part add yellow food color.
mixing food color in dough evenly is little tricky part.

then keep this dough in plastic wrap for 2 hours.
