CHAKLI
>> January 13, 2009
Wishing you all a very Happy Pongal / Makara Sankranthi
Today I am posting a recipe called Chakli. This is the one best savoury item in my mind. Chakli is very popular in India and different parts they used to call a different names.Chakli is normally made for Gokulastami (Krishna Janmashtami ) festival and other festivals / Marriages / Baby shower etc., and also mixed with other mixtures in the bakeries. Chakli is made of rice flour and black gram flour. In my place my mom used to make a long process and also you can make a fine powder into the flour mill. Last few year some how i cudnt time to get photo of this.
Today i have made so and i got a time to take a picture of this. There are many events going on around. Last few months i have not sending anything becoz of my busy schedule.
This chakli recipe is going to these events EFM Savoury Series and Sunday Hot n Spicy

Hey Vanamala...this is a great food blog you have going. The recipes are very varied and many. I loved browsing through your blog and have added you to my blogroll. Sam.
We call this muruku...my all time fav!
Crisp chaklis are really a wonderful snack with hot spicy tea.
I'm feeling hungry now. :)
your mullu murukkus (as we call it) look crispy and perfect. First time in your site, you've got a beautiful collection of Iyengar and other recipes. My teddies love eating murukkus after school. I'll try your recipe and will keep you posted.
