- finally, press the chaklis onto hot oil, and later fry them on medium flame. so that it gets cooked well and also turns crispy.

. taste was very good. it was crispy immediately after frying. but it became very soft the next day even if I keep in air tight container. what to do now?
have you fried on low to medium flame?? else chakli will remain raw from inside and turns soggy.
