WHEAT CHAKLI

Usually, Chaklis are made with rice flour but to give a different taste to it we can make it using wheat flour too. Whole wheat flour chakli has a very different flavor and mouth feel, equally tasty but slightly softer than the normal rice flour chakli. A perfect snack for the Diwali festival.
