Notes

  1. You can make the chakli powder in huge batch and store for months .Nothing will happen. But use the fresh chakli dough only after 1-2 days of making it . Else it wont turn that good .
  2. Grinding of rice and urad dal mix to super fine powder is must .
  3. If you dont have butter you can add 2 tbsp of super hot oil . Heat oil such that when you pour on the dry flour bubbles comes .
  4. Sieve the powder couple od times to get fine powder if you have powdered grains at home
  5. Always knead the chakli dough well .Else theyl break while rolling . they might also break while frying.
  6. Dont make a huge batch of chakli , keep them waiting and then deep fry them in small batches. this way rolled rings would dry out n break while frying. So ideally make about 8-10 , deep fry.While frying , simultaneously you can do your next batch .
  7. Check the oil readiness by dropping a small ball of dough into the oil. It has to come up immediately. this shows that oil has attained the right temperature n you can gently slide the kodubales.
  8. While dropping the prepared chaklis, the flame should be high,once they float to to top,reduce the flame to medium or medium low flame and fry till they become crisp.The secret of getting crunchy chakli lies here.
  9. In case you are making them in large quantity , dont add water to whole mix. Instead divide into parts, add water only to 1st part ,knead well n do chaklis.Once the 1st part is over ,add water to next part. This way chaklis will not turn soggy.
