How to make Aate Ki Chakli Recipe | Wheat Chakli Recipe
- Step 1
Take a bowl and place a clean cotton cloth. Add wheat flour and rice flour to the cloth. Fold the cloth tightly to cover the flour.
- Step 2
Place the cloth with flour into a cooker or steamer and steam for 15 minutes without using the whistle.
- Step 3
Open the cooker and check the flour. It should have hardened. Break the lumps and sieve the flour to remove any lumps. The flour should be slightly warm while sifting.
- Step 4
Add cumin, turmeric, red chili powder, hing, and salt to the sifted flour. Mix well to combine the spices.
- Step 5
Add water gradually and knead the dough until it is smooth and soft. Add water as required.
- Step 6
Take a star mold and fix it to the chakli maker. Grease the chakli maker with oil to prevent the dough from sticking.
- Step 7
Make a cylindrical shape out of the dough and place it inside the chakli maker. Tighten the lid.
- Step 8
On a wet cloth or butter paper, press the chakli maker to form small spiral-shaped chaklis. Seal the ends to prevent them from falling apart while frying.
- Step 9
Heat oil in a pan. Slide one chakli at a time into the hot oil and fry on medium flame until crispy on both sides. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15 minutes.
- Step 10
Drain the fried chaklis on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
