About Indian chakli

Chakli is a crispy, spiral-shaped snack popular in Indian cuisine, especially during festivals and celebrations. Originating from the Indian subcontinent, it's traditionally made using rice flour or gram flour combined with spices like cumin seeds, sesame seeds, turmeric, and chili powder. The dough is shaped into coils and deep-fried to achieve its signature crunch. While Chakli is rich in flavor and easy to make, its health profile depends on the method of preparation. Baking Chakli or frying it in healthy oils can reduce its fat content, making it a lighter choice. It contains protein from gram flour and beneficial spices with antioxidant properties, but its high carbohydrate and calorie content suggests moderation is key, especially when fried. Loved for its versatility and texture, Chakli is a delicious indulgence that can fit into a balanced diet when consumed mindfully.
