CHAKKULI| CHAKLI| ಚಕ್ಕುಲಿ| ಚಕ್ಲಿ
Yet another spiral shaped, deep fried snack idea from southern parts of India. This one is also a traditional snack item made during Gokulashtami/Janmashtami, Ganesh chaturthi and Deepavali. Again it is also a great accompaniment with tea/coffee.
Though this is called as chakkuli or chakli in Karnataka, but known with different names in different parts of India. And also the base ingredients differ from place to place. Some people use besan (chana flour) as its base ingredient whereas some other use wheat flour etc.
But in southern India more amount of rice flour and less amount of split black gram flour/urad dal powder is used to make chakli. People get confused this with yet another similar snack called murukku, /benne muruku though it look similar and most of the ingredients used are similar, but the making process differs and also the taste is entirely different.
There are instant versions of making chakli are there, but today I’m going to share the traditional recipe. Shall also post those instant versions in the near future.
