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 are always welcome anytime. Nice and crunchy snack. First time I am seeing the addition of poppy seeds them. usually we add sesame seeds. Must try sometime.
We used to prepare chaklis during Ganpati Pooja. Chaklis are looking so crisp and crunchy. Perfectly made.
instant is where all the interest is.Loved the idea
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.
Chakli’s look inviting, these are our favorite . Back home amma used to make tins of chakli’s right before janmashtami! Such a delightful snack with so much memories
Murukku looks so crispy and crunchy. Would love to have it anytime as snacks. I too make the same way and such a quick and easy recipe
