  7. Hi mam…thank u for your recipes I tried many dishes and all came out very well..I have one doubt, I tried Aloo tikki, the texture came very well but the tikki was very oily..what would be the reason..did I go wrong somewhere??5 stars

    1. chitra, when frying tikki, firstly the oil has to be hot. if fried in oil which is not hot, but warm, then aloo tikkis will absorb more oil. also the tikki mixture should not have much moisture. if there is too much moisture, then while frying the tikkis will absorb more oil.

  8. Thanks for giving this step by step recipe for idli and chaklis i will surely make it tomorrow keep up your good work .Thanks a lot.Can.you.please share recipe.of lambey pau at my e mail5 stars

  16. Crunchy and Crispy chaklis Wow!!
    Thought I would never able to make chaklis. Thanks to your perfectly explained recipe and even tips how to adjust the dough if the something goes wrong ensures The chaklis turn out perfect 🙂

    Made as per the recipe are in demand @ home now making a second batch of these.5 stars

  17. I made many recipes from your site n every dish got finished with lots of appreciation. One complement i want to give you that you are just look like a 10-12 years old with bindi. So pretty.

  18. Hi,
    Firstly I should tell you that your way of presenting recipes is very nice.I have tried couple of recipes and they have turned out to be amazing.I am planning to make this chakli..Wanted to ask you do they turn out to be crispy enough for old people to eat.My parents are old and cant eat hard ones like the one which we get in the stores…Thanks

    1. thanks simran. since these ones have besan in them, they are not that crisp for old people to eat. usually the rice flour ones or the maida ones are very crisp and these are the ones which we get in the stores. you can look for any other recipe which is just made of rice flour on the web. i do plan to add one before diwali.

  19. The recipe was great! The Chaklis are so tasty too! So simple and easy to make! Thanks!

  20. Well deserved clap clap.
    Tried and tested. Perfect. Your awesome!
    By the way is “butter chakli” the ones which are available in supermarkets the same thing??5 stars

  21. oh just made these now… it is so easy, kinda surprised actually..
    i have always bought them from the store, but that wont be happening anymore…
    thank you for the recipes.. i love how it gives a good explanation..
    also followed your roti recipe a few weeks ago, i could never get it to puff up and i was trying for months.. but now i know the trick! thanks again…

    only difficulty i had was that i didnt have a chakli maker, i had to use my piping bag and the star noozle, and trust me, it was difficult squeezing it through.
    finally achieved it though! will be looking for the chakli maker soon..

    keep it up! thanks again5 stars

    1. welcome lubna. good to know that you are able to puff the rotis. for the chakli, i am wondering how you managed with a piping bag. its difficut. kudos to you. i can never manage making chaklis with a piping bag. do go for a chakli maker. you should be able to get it online.

      1. Hi .i made them jus now and it came out very well Thank you for the recipe.Is there any option to use instead of gramflour

  22. Hello Dassana,
    Hope you are doing good. I have recently started reading your recipes and I love all of them.
    I have a question here can you help me buy a chakali maker? which one do you use? I mean there are 2 models in the market. The handle one while while needs to be moved round and round or the press one which needs to be pressed with the fingers to move the piston down( anjali model)

    Can you suggest me which one would be easier to use? I want to make sev as well so which one of the two models would be better?

    Warm Regards
    Kirti

    1. am fine kirti. i have the piston one. got it from bangalore. but its not anjali model but a south indian company. the piston one is better. its less exertion and stressing for the hand muscles.

  23. Thanks for all the recipes
    Got many help from your recipes
    Reading all the recipes got more energy and intrest in cooking
    Thanks a lot5 stars

  24. Yummy! Yummier! Yummiest! I followed it step by step and it came out just superb! I’ve never had success with Chaklis before this. Dassana, thanks for this recipe.5 stars

  25. Hi,

    It was a great recipe. Followed the measurements precisely and I made it successfully. My husband and son loved them. Thanks a ton.5 stars

  26. Dear Dassana Amit,
    I have become fan of yours, you explain every minute detail of the recipe 🙂 thanks for that.
    I’m a celiac & on a very strict gluten-free diet, I have to make everything homemade. I’m learning from experts like you.
    Your Chakli recipe is gluten-free except the ingredient asafoetida which is having wheat flour in it. I’m mentioning this just for the knowledge of people who are celiacs and are on gluten free diet. I would love to learn more gluten-free recipes from you. Thank you4 stars

    1. thanks neha. i know that asafoetida has some wheat in it. i have removed it from the gluten free category now. usually for recipes which has asafoetida, i don’t add them in the gluten free category or add a note to skip asafoetida. in this recipe, i forgot to add the note. i did some research on asafoetida and there are brands which sell a gluten free asafoetida. i am not sure about the indian ones as they don’t mention anything on the jars. i am not an expert on gluten free recipes, but yes good in cooking 🙂

  27. Dear Dassana,

    I never thought i could make snacks it looked fantastic to me but by ur help it did wonders for me…. this chakli recipe really worked so really well

      1. Dear Dassana… I absolutely love all your recipes. I have moved abroad a few months back, and have relied entirely on your blog as you make everything seem so easy, and the stepwise images, they are super….perfecto … I had a qs. regarding the chakli… Is there any way I can make these without a chakli maker? Or alternately, if you can suggest something I could use instead. Thanks.5 stars

        1. welcome resh. thanks for sharing positive feedback on recipes. we usually make it with a chakli maker as it is easier. but you can roll it into a slight thick chappati/roti. cut into strips and then fry those strips.

  28. luks lovely…will surely try this tomorrow…awesome pictures…simple explanation so easy to understand…just loved it…:)5 stars

  29. I just luv this site,I made methi matar malai,butter panner,dal fry results r awesome.thankyou so much

  30. Dear Dassana, How are you? I tried this recipe last evening and it came out just perfect and it was super easy too!! He he..I am munching on it now with a cup of hot tea…:) Thanks so much for this foolproof recipe yaar, this is going to be a keeper..Take care..Regards..:)5 stars

  31. Lovely pictures, Dassana 🙂 It looks delicious to me 😀 What is that drink you have kept with the chakli?

    1. thanks arpita. it looks like a drink. but this is a floating light lamp. for this put water in a glass. then add some oil or ghee and then put floating light wick. the wick will burn as long as oil is there.
