Moong Dal Chakli 2

Moong dal chakli is crispy, crunchy and it is always nice to have these home made crunchy food.

HOME MADE is always a best thing and we are really lucky to have it. You are sure of what you eat.

I have used moong dal, rice flour, chilly powder, jeera, ingh, sesame seeds and rice flour.

This type of Moong dal chakli is nice to munch, though I have already tried moong dal chakli in different type, this looks yummy, more crunchy and it is always good to try.

Chakli is always good to have with a cup of coffee or tea. 

I am a chakli lover. Yes. My doddamma used to scold me for that, not to eat so much oily food. During Gokulastami she used to prepare a big tin of Chakkuli those days. The preparation of chakkuli is not at all easy during those days.

She used to wash the rice and dry it on the flour and then dry roast urid dal. These are to be ground with the stone grinder by using their hands to turn the stone on the top. The flour then to be collected and then sieve it, again grind it in the same way. It used to lots of labour behind the chakli process.

The Chakkuli she used to make is to be fantastic and now it is only a remember.
