Ingredients
 

  • 2 cup or 250 grm rice flour
  • ½ cup or 50 grm wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp green chilli-ginger paste
  • 4 tbsp fresh malai
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • ½ tsp hing
  • 1 tsp Kashmiri red chilli
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp white sesame seeds
  • 4 tbsp curd
  • ½ cup hot water or as required
  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups rice flour, ½ cup wheat flour, 4 tbsp malai, 1 tbsp green chili-ginger paste, ½ tsp turmeric powder, ½ tsp hing, 1 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder, salt, 1 tbsp white sesame seeds, and 4 tbsp curd. Mix well.
  • Now add ½ cup of hot water gradually and knead into a medium-stiff dough. Cover and let the dough rest for 10 minutes. Do not let it rest longer, as the dough may become too soft.
  • Take a chakli maker with a star-shaped disc attachment. Grease the chakli maker lightly with oil. Add the dough to the machine and close the lid.
  • On a greased steel plate, rotate the chakli machine in a circular motion to form straight strands of dough by twisting the handle, then shape each into a circular chakli with your hands. Join the ends to prevent the chakli from opening while frying.
  • Heat oil over a medium flame. Test by adding a small piece of dough; if it rises to the surface immediately without browning, the oil is ready.
  • Add 3-4 chaklis at a time to the hot oil and deep fry until they are crispy and golden brown. Fry evenly on both sides, then remove them onto a wire rack.
  • Allow the chaklis to cool to room temperature, and they are ready to serve or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use fine rice flour for making chakli.
  • Wheat flour helps bind the chakli dough.
  • Fresh malai makes the chakli crispy and soft.
  • You can use hot ghee instead of malai.
  • Dahi enhances the taste of chakli.
  • Knead a medium-soft dough for chakli.
  • The oil should be hot, and the gas flame high when adding the chakli to the oil so it keeps its shape.
  • Fry the chakli on medium flame.
