'''Chakri''' is a savoury snack from India. It is a spiral shaped snack with a spiked surface.<ref name="SmarttNwokolo1996">{{cite book |author1=J. Smartt |author2=Emmanuel Nwokolo |title=Food and feed from legumes and oilseeds |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1xUhAQAAMAAJ |date=30 June 1996 |publisher=Chapman & Hall |isbn=978-0-412-45930-6}}</ref>

Chakri is typically made from [[flour]]s of [[rice flour|rice]], [[bengal gram]] (brown chickpea) and [[black gram]] (''urad daal''). It has several variations, depending on the types and proportion of flours used. [[Murukku]], a similar snack typically made without the Bengal gram flour, is also sometimes called "chakli".

== Ingredients and preparation ==

Other ingredients include [[coriander]] seed powder, [[cumin]] seed (jeera) powder, sesame seeds, red pepper powder, turmeric powder, salt, asafoetida powder and oil.<ref name="Edmund2001">{{cite book |author1=Edmund W.

The flours and seed powders are mixed, and boiling water is added to make a [[dough]]. The dough is kneaded and shaped into circular forms, using a mould. In commercial food processing units, usually a chakli [[extrusion|extruder]] is used for shaping the dough.<ref name="Edmund2001"/> The shaped dough is fried in hot oil, until it becomes brown in colour. It is then removed from the oil, drained and cooled.<ref name="Edmund2001"/>
