    My Maharashtrian neighbour makes this wonderful chaklis and everytime she cooks this i am amazed at the efforts they put in,coz the dough is so thick and it really drains me out when i help her squeeze the dough thru chakli making utensil,and mine circles never come out tightly rolled....maybe i need some more practise..and yeah frying them on medium flame takes almost half day(coz she makes of 1 kg flour)..but the efforts are worth putting in,coz at the end we just can't stop munching on these crispy devils......

    We had to add lots of extra Butter than specified to stop it from dissolving in the oil. Otherwise, rest of the recipe is perfect.
