Chakli
Chakli is a savoury snack from India. It is a spiral-shaped snack with a spiked surface. Chakli is typically made from flours of rice, Bengal gram and black gram (urad daal). It has several variations, depending on the types and proportion of flours used. Murukku, a similar snack typically made without Bengal gram flour, is also sometimes called "chakli". Chakri is also a common nickname for "Chakradhar," a name of Indian origin. It's especially made for Diwali. It's also very popular in South Africa, introduced by the Indian diaspora. Maize flour is used instead of rice flour with the addition of salt and cumin as the basic dry ingredients. It is sold by street vendors and at neighborhood shops. Other names of the dish include Kannada: ಚಕ್ಕುಲಿ chakkuli, Marathi: चकली chakali, Odiya: ଦାନ୍ତକଲି Dantkali, Gujarati: ચકરી chakri, Telugu: చక్రాలు chakralu or jantikalu and Konkani: Chakri or Chakkuli.
