Homemade Chakri — the perfect Diwali snack that’s impossible to stop at just one! 💛

Chakri, also known as Murukku in South India, is a popular traditional Indian snack loved for its crunchy and crispy texture. Made primarily from rice flour and gram flour, this spiral-shaped savory delight is seasoned with spices like sesame seeds, carom seeds, and cumin, then deep-fried to golden perfection.

It’s a festival-special snack, especially prepared during Diwali, Janmashtami, and other festive occasions.

Chakri is particularly popular in Gujarat and Maharashtra, while its South Indian counterpart, Murukku, is a staple in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. Despite regional variations in ingredients and names, this crispy spiral snack remains a favorite across India for its delightful taste and long shelf life.
