Chakli is very tasty and crunchy snacks usually made during festival seasons. It has very special place in Diwali Faral (Snacks). There are many ways to make Chakali.
In Maharashtra there is one kind of Chakli, it's called "Bhajnichi Chakli". It tastes awesome. I personally love the Bhajnichi Chakli.
