3. Add a cup of warm water and mix it well with your hands till the bread crumbs are formed. Now add normal water and make a tight dough so that it can pass through the chakli mould checking for salt. Place required quantity of the dough in the mould and press it into round spirals as shown in the image below.

On being heated ( check by dropping a little dough if it comes up slowly it is ready) drop the spirals from step-3 into the heated oil in batches and fry on both the sides till brown and crispy. On cooling store them in air tight containers and will stay afresh for more than a fort night!!Yummmmmmm Sorgham atta chakli being fried

Good to remember: 1. Sorgham flour should be fine to make the chakli crispy so also the roasted blackgram dal flour and fresh too.
2. Oil should be heated to a normal temmperature to fry chakli.
3. Adding butter makes chakli crispy.
4. Adding a part of warm water is to make the dough ideal for the dish.
