aate ki chakli recipe | wheat chakli recipe | gehu ke aate ki chakli with detailed photo and video recipe. an interesting and easy deep fried snack recipe made with wheat flour and spices. this an extension to the traditional chakli or murukku recipe which is made with rice flour and urad dal flour combination. this snack can be easily made for the popular festival like janmashtami or ganesh chaturthi, but not just limited for it.
well, i am not a huge fan of alteration to the traditional recipe, but trust me i am a huge fan of this altered or experimented chakli recipe. obviously, the traditional one has its own place and taste factor. but the easiness and the end to end time required to make this recipe is worth mentioning. having said that some may have the reservations about making a wheat-based chakli as some community or region restrict wheat flour for festival recipes. i don’t have any such restrictions and i make it for almost all festivals. as a matter fact, i find the wheat flour recipes are more thrifty and economical yet producing the same result. hence it is completely up to individual preference.
furthermore some of the critical and important tips, suggestions and variations for a perfect aate ki chakli recipe. firstly, i have steamed the wheat flour and rice flour in a pressure cooker without the whistle. this would help to have a crisp and brittle texture to the chakli. also before the steaming process, i have not added any wet ingredients, especially butter or even oil. while some may contradict to this argument and may prefer adding it, but i prefer without it. lastly, store these in an airtight container for better shelf life. also while deep frying, deep fry these in small batches in a low to medium flame.
