CHAKLI

Wishing you all a very Happy Pongal / Makara Sankranthi

Today I am posting a recipe called Chakli. This is the one best savoury item in my mind. Chakli is very popular in India and different parts they used to call a different names.Chakli is normally made for Gokulastami (Krishna Janmashtami ) festival and other festivals / Marriages / Baby shower etc., and also mixed with other mixtures in the bakeries. Chakli is made of rice flour and black gram flour. In my place my mom used to make a long process and also you can make a fine powder into the flour mill. Last few year some how i cudnt time to get photo of this.

Today i have made so and i got a time to take a picture of this. There are many events going on around. Last few months i have not sending anything becoz of my busy schedule.

This chakli recipe is going to these events EFM Savoury Series and Sunday Hot n Spicy
