13. Tighten the lid and press the chakli maker to prepare the chakli. move in rounds to get a spiral shape. make the chaklis on butter paper or aluminium foil, so thats its easy to remove them..
14. Tip 1 - if the chakli breaks while forming them, this means that the dough does not have enough moisture. add 1 or 2 tbsp of water and knead the dough again..
15. Tip 2 - if you are not getting proper shape, this mean that the dough is too moist. add some flour and knead again..
16. Break the dough towards the end and press it to the last concentric circle of the spiral..
17. Heat oil for deep frying in a pan. take a small piece of the dough and check the temperature of the oil. if the dough comes up gradually, then the oil is ready. if the dough sits at the bottom, the oil is still cold. if the piece of dough comes up briskly and quickly, the oil is too hot..
