A crispy, spiral-shaped snack made with spiced mix of flour, known for its bold flavors and crunchy texture—perfect for festive munching.

Ingredients

  • rice flour 150-160g
  • besan 50-60g
  • oil 20-30ml
  • turmeric powder 1g
  • ajwain 0.50g
  • red chilli powder 1g (as required as per spice level)
  • hing 0.5g
  • salt as per taste
  • water (required to make a soft dough)

Directions

    To make soft dough

    1. Take a bowl, add all ingredients together (apart from water) and mix it well.
    2. Add water as required to make it soft dough. (Note- add water in batches). Cover the dough n let it rest for 30min.

    Making chakli

    1. Apply some water in the chakli/murukku maker and place a portion of the dough inside it.
    2. Tighten the lid and press the chakli maker to prepare the chakli. Move in rounds to get a spiral shape. Make the chakli on butter paper or aluminium foil, so thats it is easy to remove them.
    3. TIP 1 - If the chakli breaks while forming them, this means that the dough does not have enough moisture. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water and knead the dough again.

      TIP 2- If you are not getting proper shape, this mean that the dough is too moist. Add some flour and knead again.

    To air fry chakli

    1. Take air fryer basket, spray some oil over it, place chakli over it in single layer (Note-don’t overlayer it).
    2. Select mode “airfry” set temperature 160°C and time for 10 minutes. Press the button start.

    Note: cooking time may depend on the thickness of chakli.
