Steps

1

In a large mixing bowl, take 1 cup of rice flour.
2

To that add ½ cup maida
also add turmeric powder, kashmiri chilli powder, cumin seeds and salt to taste.
3

Then add butter and hing. roughly mix everything.
now add curd and again give a rough mix.
4

Slowly add water as required and knead.
knead to smooth dough. if the dough is too stiff then chaklis will break when you try to shape them using mold. if the dough is too soft then chaklis will absorb oil. so make sure to make a smooth dough.
5

Now take star mold and fix to the chakli maker.
grease the chakli maker with some oil. this prevents dough from sticking to mold.
now make a cylindrical shape out of dough and place the dough inside maker.
tighten the lid and start preparing chaklis.
6

Flip the chaklis and fry till they turn golden brown and crispy from both sides.
drain them to the paper towel to remove excess oil.
