Instant chakli looks so delicious. Adding poppy seeds is new to me . I will definitely add it to my chakli next time

Though I make murukku or chakli in different ways, I have not used poppy seeds in my recipe. It sounds interesting. Loved the colour of the chakli.

Love chakris and these look delicious. Making instant chakri is a great idea. I usually make them into spirals before frying. This certainly is a quick method.

Chaklis make a lovely snack with a cup of tea. On my list to try. Yours look yummy

Looks awesome Jayashree! This reminds me of Janmashtami back home where chakli was the first to be made. By gram flour do you mean besan? Or is it puthe powder.
