  • Firstly, make sure to fry on low to medium flame, or else the chakli will not turn crunchy.
  • Also, do not overcrowd the murukku while frying, as it will break while flipping.
  • Additionally, you can replace sesame with jeera for variation in flavour.
  • Finally, the instant chakli recipe stays good for 2 weeks when stored in an airtight container.
