Ragi Chakli | Finger millet Chakli
Written by Jayashree

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Ragi Chakli is a twist to the usual chakli we often prepare. It is tasty and makes a good snack to munch.

Chakli makes a good snack to have with a cup of tea. During holidays, children love to binge on snacks. Moreover, festive season calls for celebrations with sweets and savoury snacks.

I have shared various kind of savoury snacks earlier. Butter Murukku, Split gram murukkunippattu are some of the popular south indian snacks. I have also shared a variety of sev recipes : Besan Sev, Palak Sev and Ratlami Sev. If you are looking for something different, try the mathris, lately they are our favourite snacks.

The awareness of the many benefits of millets has brought a change in the way we eat and cook. Finger millet or ragi is regularly used to make idli, dosa or halbai. Today, I am sharing finger millet chakli. I have made it a couple of times earlier, but not shared with all of you. Ragi Chakli is tasty and makes a good snack to store in the jar.

Ragi Chakli Recipe

Ingredients :

  • 1 cup ragi flour
  • 1/2 cup rice flour
  • 1/4 cup roasted gram flour
  • 1 tablespoon hot oil
  • 1 teaspoon chilli powder
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seed
  • 1 teaspoon chilli powder
  • salt to taste
  • water as required for mixing
  • oil for frying

Method :

  1. Take ragi flour,  rice flour, gram flour, chilli powder, sesame seed, chilli powder, salt and mix it well.
  2. Heat oil in a pan, add a tablespoon of hot oil to the flour mix and mix it thoroughly with fingers.
  3. Now, add a little water at a time, make a pliable dough. The dough should neither be too hard or smooth.
  4. Heat oil in a pan.
  5. Take a chakli mould, grease it with a little oil. Use the star shaped nozzle to make chakli.
  6. Put a small piece of dough in the oil, if it sizzles and  floats on top, you can continue to fry them.
  7. Put some dough and press a few. You can either press directly or put them on a sheet and slide later into the oil.
  8. Deep fry them on both sides.
  9. Remove them on a tissue paper. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
  10. Once they are completely cool, store them in an air-tight container.

Take a tip :

  • Use good quality ragi flour.
  • Add water slowly in small quantities. If the dough is smooth, it will absorb lot of oil. If iit is hard, you will not be able to press it properly.
  • Never keep hot, deep fried snacks in closed container. they  becomes soggy. Allow them to cool completely, before you store in an air-tight container.
