What Is Chakli or Murukku?

Chakli or murukku(Tamil) also known as chakuli, chakralu (Telugu) is a most popular Indian snack often made for Diwali. It is also known as chakri in Gujarat. It is known as murukku or chakralu after its spiral shape.

It is customary to make deep fried snacks on festivals like Diwali, krishna jayanthi and chakli is the unanimous choice in most households.

Along with murukku some other easy deep fried diwali snack recipes are corn flakes mixture, poha chivda, cheese sev, aloo bhujia, potato mixture, sago mixture, oats mixture etc.

Chakli is a deep fried snack made with mainly rice flour. There are many variations in murukku or chalki recipe. In Tamil nadu murukku is made with a combination of rice and urad dal flour. Making homemade rice and urad dal flour for chakli takes some time. Here I am sharing an no grind instant chalki recipe. This quick murukku recipe comes together in 20 minutes flat. You can very well use store bought regular rice flour for this chakli recipe.

Chakli made with rice flour and besan is very popular in Maharastra. I saw this easy murukku or chakli recipe in a Diwali supplement of a magazine and tried immediately.

To make chakli recipe we need a murukku maker or chakli press with single star nozzle. You can use the other nozzle with three starts too. I have seasoned the chalki with sesame seeds and chili powder. You can even use cumin seeds or carom seeds. Some kind of fat should be added to murukku or chakli dough for crispy chaklis. I have added softened butter here. You can even add hot oil.

Making chakli is easy if some tips are followed. I am listing few important points for making chakli here.

Tips for making murukku recipe

1. The consistency of chakli dough is very important. If the dough is very hard the chakli will break while pressing. If the dough is very soft or there is more butter than required then chakli will absorb loads of oil while frying.

2. Adding more butter will also make the chakli break in oil while frying.

3. If the fried chaklis are very hard then it means there was not enough fat in the dough. Always make 2-3 murukku and make the adjustment in the dough.

Serve chakli as snack with coffee or side dish too. You can even use this murukku to make mixture.

    Gram flour is besan? And fried gram flour is split daliya or pottu kadala?
