Papa's Kitchen - Chaklee

Chakli, also known as Murukku in some regions, is a popular Indian snack that originates from South India but is enjoyed throughout the country. It is typically made during festivals and special occasions. Chakli is a deep-fried spiral or coiled snack made from a mixture of rice flour, urad dal (black gram) flour, and gram flour (besan). The dough is seasoned with various spices like cumin seeds, sesame seeds, and sometimes asafoetida for added flavor.

The prepared dough is then shaped into spiral patterns using a mold or extruder and deep-fried until it becomes crispy and golden brown. Chakli has a crunchy texture and a savory taste, making it a popular tea-time or festival snack. The unique spiral shape and the blend of spices contribute to its distinctive appeal.
