Chakli Recipe: How To Make Karnataka-style Chakkuli
Chakli is an authentic South Indian snack that is mainly prepared during the festive seasons and is also offered as naivedyum to God. Here is a detailed preparation method with images and a video.
Chakli is a traditional South Indian snack that is prepared for most of the festivals including Diwali, Janmashtami, Ganesh Chathurthi etc. This Karnataka-style chakkuli is prepared by making a soft dough with the chakli powder and some dry spices and frying the concentric spiral moulded dough.
Also known as chakralu or janti kalu, this snack is a typical grandma's recipe. During olden times, grandmas used to prepare chakli in big tins and store it for almost a month. It is an ideal evening snack with tea or masala milk.
The traditional chakli is tricky and time consuming as the chakli powder itself takes days to be made. However, now the chakli powder is available ready-made, hence, making the procedure a lot easier. The only tricky part is to get the consistency of the dough right.
So, if you would like to follow the tradition and try the chakli recipe at home, continue reading the step-by-step procedure with images. Also, watch the video recipe on how to make instant chakli.
