Divide the dough into equal portions.
Grease a chakli press with some oil. Put a portion of the dough inside the chakli press till it is ¾ filled. Cover it with the lid.
Press out chaklis on to a plastic sheet.
Heat sufficient oil in a kadai. Gently slide in the chaklis a few at a time and deep fry till golden brown and crisp. Drain on an absorbent paper.
Allow the chaklis to cool completely. Store in an air tight container and serve as required.
