We are great fan of chakli………….. I think one who eats chakli first time becomes fan of it. I think in all parts of India, everybody makes these chakli with different name. But Maharashtrian's special is 'Bhajni chi chakli'. Bhajni is roasted grains and dal's flour. Like Bhajniche Thalipith. On 'Nark Chaturdashi' day of Diwali, when we wake up very early in the morning, we make fresh hot hot chaklis for breakfast along with chivda and ladoo. Fresh hot chaklis are must on that day. So instead of wasting time in Description we will directly move to recipe.
Ingredients
For Bhajni
Rice - 4 cups
Chana Dal - 2 cups
Urad Dal - 1 cup
Poha - 1/2 cup
Toor Dal - 1/2 cup
Coriander seeds - 1/2 cup
Cumin seeds - 1/4 cup
For Chakli
Bhajni - 2 cups
Water - 2 cups
Red chilli powder - 1 teaspoon
Asafetida - 1/2 teaspoon
Turmeric powder- 1/2 teaspoon
Ajwain - 1/2 teaspoon
Sesame seeds - 1 teaspoon
Hot oil - 2 tablespoon
Salt as per taste.
Oil for deep fry.
Procedure
For Bhajni
Roast each ingredient one by one on low flame till it changes it's colour slightly. Do not use oil while roasting. Cool it and mix it. Grind together all the roasted ingredients in flour mill. This flour is called as bhajani. You can store it in airtight container for 5-6 months.
For Chakli
Boil water in a vessel. Add Hot oil (In Marathi it's called 'Mohan'), Red chilli powder, Asafetida, Turmeric powder and salt. In another bowl mix bhajni flour, sesame seeds and Ajwain. Now add this flour in water. Switch off the flame and cover it with the lid for 5 minutes. Then Knead the flour to make a soft dough. You can use little oil for kneading. Now Take a ball of dough and put it in the chakli mold. Press it and simultaneously move it in circular motion to make chaklis of desired size. Mean while heat oil in the kadai. Slowly put one chakli in kadai and deep fry it on medium flame. When it stops bubbling and colour change to slightly brownish take it from the kadai and drain it on kitchen towel. Let it get cool and store it in a airtight container. Me and my husband likes to eat chakli with curd and My father loves to eat it with butter.
