Moong Dal Chakli
 
 
Moong Dal Chakli also known as a murukku. Chakli is a popular snack all throughout India. Chakli is a crispy and delicious snack that is prepared for festival. Making Chaklis at home is a little time consuming but I promise it will turn out much better than the store-bought ones. It is perfect with a hot cup of Chai.
