दिवाळी फराळातला सगळ्य़ांचा आवडता पदार्थ म्हणजे चकली. एरवीही खमंग चकली खायला कुणाला आवडत नाही! उत्तम दर्जाची धान्य भाजून त्याच्या पीठापासून तयार केलेल्या चकल्या अतिशय पौष्टीक असतात. गृहिणींना चकली करणं किचकट वाटतं कारण भाजणी नीट जमली नाही तर चकल्या अजिबात खुसखुशीत होत नाही. पण अभ्यंकर यांची चकली भाजणी वापरुन चकल्या करणं आता अगदी सोपं आहे.
How to make chaklis
- Heat some oil/ghee in a pan until it reaches the smoking stage. Pour it over the Abhyankar Chakali bhajani and mix well.
- Add sesame seeds, ajwain, salt, turmeric powder, chili powder, and approx. 1 cup boiling water into the bhajani.
- Knead the flour to make a soft pliable dough. Put it in the chakli mould or kitchen press.
- Press out in circular motion to make chaklis of desired size (generally of 3 rotations).
- Heat enough oil in the pan. When oil is heated enough, turn the heat to medium to low and put chaklis in the pan. Avoid overfrying.
Fry chaklis in small batches of 2 to 3. A well done chakli stops bubbling and starts going down in the oil.
Once cool, store Chaklis in an airtight container.
