Bhajani Chakli Bhajani Chakli is a Maharashtrian dish that the elders of the family pass down the generations. Every household has its special recipe and procedure for making Chakli. Rice, along with other lentils like chickpea (Bengal gram), black gram (urad dal), and moong dal, are cleaned, dried, and roasted with cumin seeds and coriander seeds to utilize them as dough for making Chakli after grinding them.

Leave the dough covered in a moist towel to prevent it from drying. In a cauldron, add oil and keep it on moderate heat. Add star shape plate in the bottom cylinder of the chakli maker followed by chakli dough. Slide in the top cylinder and start applying pressure while rotating your hand in a spiral motion, don't forget to secure the ends.
