Bhajani Chakali 1 Kg

Chakli is a delightfully scrumptious snack that is often made in India during the Diwali festival. Also known as Chakri, these spiral-shaped crunchy snacks are made using the perfect blend of lentils and spices. Deep-fried to golden brown perfection, chaklis are lightly spiced with turmeric and chili packing in an explosion of flavors in every bite.

Different parts of India have variations of this recipe. For example, in South India,?Murukku(Chakli) is made using rice flour and a mild seasoning of salt and asafoetida. In Gujarat,?Chakri?is made with whole wheat flour or rice flour. In Maharashtra, it is made with?Bhajani, a special homemade flour. Chakli is easily one of the most popular Indian Diwali snack AKA?faral?and is best enjoyed with a piping hot cup of tea.

Traditional?Maharashtrian Chakli?is made with a special homemade flour of rice and lentils called?Bhajani. Rice and lentils are washed, air-dried, and then dry roasted over slow heat along with cumin and coriander seeds. They are then cooled down and ground to a fine flour. Every time I visit India, I make it a point to bring few pounds of homemade bhajani.

This Bhajani flour is seasoned with spices, sesame seeds, and carom seeds and kneaded into dough. The dough is then placed in a special press called?Chakli Maker and Chakli is made by pressing the dough out into spiral shapes. The pressed spirals are then carefully deep-fried in hot oil till they turn golden brown in color adding the perfect crispness. The resulting snack is so full of goodness and flavor.
