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.

I am my own inspiration because everything I create, learn, and overcome begins with me. My kitchen is my laboratory, my comfort zone, and sometimes even my battlefield — and through it, I’ve discovered strengths I didn’t know I had.  In My Kitchen, I am: The creator — turning simple ingredients into something meaningful. The problem-solver — adapting, experimenting, fixing what didn’t work. The nurturer — feeding not just myself but my confidence and creativity. The learner — every dish teaches me patience, courage, and precision. Here, I don’t wait for validation. The aroma of my effort is my applause. My growth is visible in every new recipe I master and every mistake I turn into mastery. 🌱 Beyond My Kitchen Outside the kitchen, the same qualities shape who I am: Resilience — because failures only make me better. Self-belief — because I’ve seen myself rise from my own doubts. Independence — because I trust my instincts and build my own path. Creativity — because life, like cooking, is a blend of choices, flavors, and courage. I inspire myself because I know the journey I’ve walked — the struggles I don’t speak about, the quiet victories no one else sees, the persistence that keeps me moving. ✨ The Real Reason I am my own inspiration because I’ve watched myself grow — into someone who tries, fails, learns, improves, and still shows up with heart and hope. Today i am a proud leader in my professional journey empowering teams committted to excellence. Being a daughter keeps me grounded and connected to my roots. As a sister i have strengthened my ability to mentor and support. As a wife i value mutual respect and balance my worklife and family time. I am proud that i wear meaningful roles where as a mother ai strive to create a nurturing and encouraging space for my son to make him a good human being

→ toss in olive oil + herbs + lemon
→ 200°C · 20–25 mins · charred perfection

2. Crispy Spinach Chips
Evening- 50–70 kcal · the snack that makes you feel superior 
· spinach · oil · salt
 → dry · coat · 150°C · 12 mins · done


3. Honey-Garlic Stuffed Mushrooms
