Air frying reduces fat content.

Soak moong dal in water for 4-6 hours or overnight.

Drain the soaked dal and grind it into a smooth paste with minimal water.

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground dal paste with rice flour, cumin seeds, sesame seeds, asafoetida, turmeric powder, and salt.

Mix well until a dough forms, adjusting water as needed for consistency.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until hot.

Fill a chakli maker or piping bag with the dough.

Press the dough into spiral shapes directly into the hot oil, ensuring they don't touch each other.

Fry the chaklis until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Remove the chaklis with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Allow to cool completely before serving or storing.
