changes color. Grind all ingredients together.
Make a dough by adding warm oil, mix
properly. Add warm water for making dough. The dough should be soft enough to
press through the Chakli dye.
Brush the dough with oil, and make small
portions to fit in the dye. Press the dye handle while making circular motion
to make a perfect Chakli (use butter paper to for putting chakli rounds). Heat
oil, leave one by one chakli rounds and fry till dark golden brown. Remove on
paper to soak excess oil. Do not put in tin/container till completely cooled.
On the first day of Diwali, after having
bath with scented herbal powder “Uttana” and the nostalgic MOTI Chandan soap, a
traditional way of morning breakfast will consist of Chakli, Besan Ladoo, Coconut
Karanji, Sev, Anarse. Yummy it is !😋😋
