Chakli
Chakli are a spiral shaped snack (different flavors ) that are deep fried . They are prepared in India for festivals like Ganesh Chaturti and Diwali. Chakli can be prepared in many ways. This is a simple instant recipe that uses rice flour and some Indian spice powders.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rice flour
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/4 tsp Garam masala powder
- 1 tbsp Butter (room temperature)
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup Yogurt/curds
- 1/2 tsp Ginger garlic paste
- 1/8 cup Water or buttermilk
- Oil (for deep frying)
Instructions
-
1 In a bowl, mix the rice flour, salt and rest of the dry ingredients. Mix well.
-
2 Now add the butter and ginger garlic paste.
-
3 Add the curd, little by little.(I used 1/2 cup). Then add in buttermilk or water (I used buttermilk) if required to make a soft dough.(Not sticky dough). Cover the dough and keep aside for 1 hour.
-
4 Then, take the chakli maker and spray in some oil in the inner surface of it. Put in the dough. Cover the lid of the chakli maker.
-
5 Use a butterpaper to make the chaklis. Press the chakli maker and start from center in sprials.
-
6 Keep going till the chakli is formed. Lightly tuck in the end of the chakli.
-
7 Prepare chaklis till all the dough is utilized. Keep them on the paper for about 10 minutes.(So that its easy to lift them while deep frying).
-
8 Deep fry the chaklis on low to medium heat ( as frying them on high heat will immediately give a brown color and they remain soft upon cooling up.)
-
9 Deep fry till you get a nice golden brown color.
-
10 Drain the chaklis on an absorbent paper towel. Allow them to cool completely.
-
11 Store the chaklis in an airtight container. Serve whenever required and enjoy the crispy chaklis !

I made chaklis for 1 kg using equivalent proportion but my chaklis were breaking not forming at all. So I finally made broken chaklis. What went wrong any clue? Maybe the dough problem
Hi Lovie
probably t he dough was too dry so they broke while making them. It shld be just right… not too dry not too wet .
I’m going to try as my daughter loves them.thanks alot for sharing.
