- turmeric powder 1g
- ajwain 0.50g

Directions
- Take a bowl, add all ingredients together (apart from water) and mix it well.

- Apply some water in the chakli/murukku maker and place a portion of the dough inside it.
- Tighten the lid and press the chakli maker to prepare the chakli. Move in rounds to get a spiral shape. Make the chakli on butter paper or aluminium foil, so thats it is easy to remove them.
- TIP 1 - If the chakli breaks while forming them, this means that the dough does not have enough moisture. Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water and knead the dough again.TIP 2- If you are not getting proper shape, this mean that the dough is too moist. Add some flour and knead again.
- Take air fryer basket, spray some oil over it, place chakli over it in single layer (Note-don’t overlayer it).
