Baked Chakli

Baked Chakli

Since I am trying to avoid deep frying, I am making different snacks by baking. I am thankful for this wonderful kitchen gadget – ” oven”, to help me out in baking. I had earlier shared different recipes for making baked puris/ cracker. I had tried out different recipes for making baked chaklis. Some recipe had used less oil while other used curd for making it but the chaklis were a little hard and did not come out crispy.  I have shared with you the recipe for making chakli using fresh cream or homemade malai. I had deep fried them. So now with the same ingredients,  I have tried making baked chakli. The procedure remains the same except that instead of deep frying the chaklis I have baked them. The chaklis came out very well. They were crispy and had the same taste. My son loved it and was very happy to enjoy his favorite snack.

So friends enjoy baking the chakli for your loved ones and please share your feedback with me.

  1. I am certainly going to try this, however my traditional fried chalking recipe call for yoghurt instead of cream. Do you think it will work in this too. Ps guidw

      Thank you for going through the recipe. Cream gives chakli a crispy texture when baked. You can use yogurt and oil mixture or yogurt and cream mixture to make the chakli. But the chakli with cream will be more crisp. Happy cooking and i am waiting for your feedback!!

      The chakli dough if does not have enough moisture will result in dry chakli. So add a tsp of more water to knead into semi soft dough. Even if the chakli is baked too much it will become dry. So check while baking them. Happy cooking !!

      Thank you for going through the recipe. I have baked the chakli without flipping. It also depends on the heat from the oven. So if you have time it is better to flip them after 10 minutes.
