KURKURIT UPWAS BHAJANI CHAKLI

Chakli is a deep fried snack made with rice flour, gram flour, wheat flour or a mixture of lentil flours and is very famous in India. Usually chakli are made as a part of the Diwali faraal / Diwali snacks in Mahrashtra and Gujarat. You will need a chakli maker for this. Today I am sharing a chakli recipe which is different from our regular chakli recipe. Delicious Upwas Bhajni Chakli for Navratri, very useful for the ongoing Navratri Festival. It is very easy and simple recipe and need very few ingredients for it. It is a good idea to have flours ready so that you can make it as many times as you want evn on non-fasting days too. So learn how to make Farali Chakli with upwas bhajani. Quick chakli recipe for fasting/ upwas and believe me it tastes so delicious. Ideal recipe for fasting.
