How to make Butter Chakli Recipe | Butter Murukku | Indian Snack

Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, urad dal, gram flour, sesame seeds, carom seeds, and hing. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
In a pan, bring water to a boil. Add salt and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely. Boil for 5 minutes on medium flame.
Pour the hot water mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously with a spatula. Gradually add more water if needed to form a dough.

Shape and Fry the Chakli

Fit the chakli press with a star-shaped disc. Take a portion of the dough, fill the press, and attach the top.
Heat oil on high flame in a kadai for deep frying.
On a ziplock cover, gently press and make spiral shapes. Once you have created 5 spirals, drop them into the oil slowly.
Fry by flipping occasionally until they turn golden brown. Repeat the steps for all the dough.
