Baked Chakli/Murukku

Baked Chakli/Murukku with step by step photos and a video. Baked chakli/murukku is healthy and better alternative to the traditional oil deep fried Murukku available in sweet shops and stores. It is made from rice flour, fresh cream and with some spices. The amount of oil that is required to make them is probably too much. So as a healthy alternative, I decided to make this baked murukku. Enjoy this delicious murukku with a hot cup of Masala Chai during these rainy season. So friends, try this baked chakli/murukku and share your comments!
