Thats looking so tempting!...its been ages since I had one..:(..
Thanks so much for making me know that there is an english version :)
Shrivali,
thanks for your comment...
Sangeeth
you are most welcome..
Looks just perfect..
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......
Hi Alka,
Yeah, very true..it takes lot of time, but worth putting efforts :P .. i am just mad for Chakli...
wow looks very good. I like to have them with tea. nice pic.
yes Bhavna,
It tastes really great with Chai.. :P
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.
Where can I get good bhajani to make chakalis in the US? Alternatively, how can I make the bhajani at home?
Hi Ananva
You have to ask at your nearer Indian store. You can prepare Chakali flour at home if you have a mixi with good power..You won't get fine powder if you don't have good grinder mixer..
here is the recipe - Chakali Bhajani
