About Chakli

Chakli is a crunchy, spiral-shaped snack popular in Indian cuisine, particularly during festive occasions. Its main ingredients include rice flour, gram flour, and spices like cumin, sesame seeds, and red chili powder. The dough is formed into spirals and deeply fried, resulting in its characteristic crisp texture and rich flavor. Chakli is a flavorful source of quick energy due to its carbohydrate and fat content but is typically high in calories and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation. Sesame seeds in Chakli provide some healthy fats and nutrients like calcium and magnesium, while spices such as cumin offer antioxidant benefits. Though traditionally deep-fried, healthier baked versions are now available, reducing fat intake. Chakli exemplifies the savory richness of Indian snacks, making it a beloved treat, though mindful portions are recommended for balanced nutrition.
