RECIPE NOTE :

1. The water I have used for making the chakli dough can vary.You could need more or less water depanding on how much the Bhajni flour absorbs it.

2. But keep try using less water first.As it can be added afterwards also while kneading the dough.

3. Incase if the chakli dough becomes too much soft then you can add extra chakli Bhajni flour to it and again knead it.

4. Also don’t add too mch of oil while preparing the dough because excess oil may result in more absorption of oil by chakli while frying and also the chakli’s may get melted or broken to pieces while frying.

5. The one basic and important thing that is to be noticed while preparing chakli is that you have to fry them on medium flame only.

6. Because frying on medium flame will make the chakli’s crispier.

7. Have patience while frying the chakli’s.
