Method
For chakli
- To make chaklis, combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl, mix well and knead into a soft dough using enough water (approx. ¾ cup).
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and keep aside.
- Take a portion of the dough and press it into a chakli “press” and cover it with the lid.
- Press out 50 mm. (2”) diameter round swirls of chakli onto an inverted flat thali, working closely from the centre to the outside.
- Press the chaklis very gently with the back of a flat ladle.
- Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan, deep fry the chaklis on a medium flame, till they turn golden brown in colour and crisp from both the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper.
- Repeat steps 3 to 6 to make 3 more batches of chakli.
- Cool the chaklis and store in an air-tight container.
Handy tip:
- These chaklis can be stored in an air-tight container for 10 to 15 days.
