Chekodilu(Dhoddu)

While Chekodilu are typically thin, delicate rings, Chekodi Boddu (also known as Lavvu Chekodi or Thick Chekodi) is the "extra-bold" version. These are thicker, sturdier, and have a much denser crunch. They are often identified by their larger diameter and the generous amount of soaked moong dal or sesame seeds embedded in the thick dough.
