CHAKRI Crunchy, crispy, and full of festive vibes! 🌸✨ Homemade Chakri — the perfect Diwali snack that’s impossible to stop at just one! 💛 Chakri, also known as Murukku in South India, is a popular traditional Indian snack loved for its crunchy and crispy texture. Made primarily from rice flour and gram flour, this spiral-shaped savory delight is seasoned with spices like sesame seeds, carom seeds, and cumin, then deep-fried to golden perfection. It’s a festival-special snack, especially prepared during Diwali, Janmashtami, and other festive occasions. Chakri is particularly popular in Gujarat and Maharashtra, while its South Indian counterpart, Murukku, is a staple in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. Despite regional variations in ingredients and names, this crispy spiral snack remains a favorite across India for its delightful taste and long shelf life. Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 30 minutes Serves: 4 persons Ingredients 500 g rice flour 1 cup fresh malai 2 cups curd (preferably sour) 5 tbsp green chilli paste 1 tbsp white sesame seeds Salt to taste Oil for frying Method: Add all the ingredients to the rice flour and mix well. Knead a medium-soft dough, adding water as needed. Divide the dough into equal cylindrical rolls. Prepare the chakri extruder with the chakri plate and fill it with one dough roll. Heat oil on a low flame. Shape the chakris on baking paper or a plate. Carefully place the prepared chakris into the hot oil and deep-fry on low flame until golden and crispy on both sides. Repeat with the remaining dough. Once cooled, store in an airtight container.
