Hey Viranchi,

This reminded me of my childhood friend with whom I am not in contact now but used to bring these Chakli for the lunch and share with me. Lovely.

Hello @Viranchi ,

Thank you for sharing this delicious dish with us.

Did you make this chakli on your own?

Chakli reminds me a bit about the Spanish dessert churro, the form is very similar.

A mould! I’m intrigued @Viranchi . So is one strand made at a time or does this mould have capacity to make many strands ?

Nice for sharing this @Viranchi ! Is it sweet?

I agree with @BorrisS looks like churros, but a tiny one.

@AdamGT The mould has capacity to make many chaklis in one go. Approximately 5-6 chaklis can be made.
