Notes
- Firstly, make sure to soak and grind the cashew well, else it will be difficult to make chakli.
- Also, for binding, you can add ½ cup maida while kneading the dough.
- Furthermore, make sure to fry on low to medium flame, else the chakli will not turn crunchy.
- Finally, the Instant Kaju chakli recipe is very delicate, so do not overcrowd the murukku while frying, as it will break while flipping.
