Wheat Flour Chakli

Wheat Flour Chakli step by step instructions:

Chakli is a super tasty deep fried snack. It is generally made during festival seasons but let me tell you that chaklis are so yummy that you won’t wait for any special occasion to come.

Let us start cooking!!!

Ingredients:
Wheat flour: 1 cup
Butter: 2 tbsp
Ginger: 2 tsp (grated or paste)
Green chili paste: 1 tsp
Sesame seeds: 2 tbsp
Turmeric powder: 1 tsp
Red chili powder: ½ tsp
Curd: ½ cup less a tbsp.
Oil for frying
Salt as per taste

Method:
1. In a big bowl mix together wheat flour, butter, ginger-green chili paste, sesame seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. The mixture should resemble that of bread crumbs.

2. Now slowly add curd and knead into a stiff dough. Cover and keep it aside for half an hour.

3. Take the chakli maker and grease it well with oil.

4. Put the dough inside it and close it.

5. For making chaklis:
a. Press the chakli maker. The dough will come out from the chakli shape. Lay it in a straight line. Now roll into concentric circles and seal the end. Heat oil in a kadai and drop the prepared chaklis into oil. Let the chakli cook on low flame. Flip when one side turns brown. Similarly, cook all the chaklis. (I prefer this method)

b. Heat oil in a kadai and directly drop the dough in form of circles by rotating the chakli maker. This technique requires a bit of practice.
6. Let the chaklis cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
7. Yummy, crispy wheat flour chakli is ready.

8. Enjoy it whenever you feel like having it.

Tips:
1. If you make chaklis in very hot oil then there are possibilities of it remaining uncooked from inside.
2. Wheat flour chaklis are always towards dark brown color side.
3. If your chakli breaks when it comes out from the maker, then it might be possible that butter is extra in your dough.
