1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chakli flour, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, red chili powder, turmeric, and salt.
2. Add Fat: Pour melted butter or ghee into the flour mixture. Mix well until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Form Dough: Add water gradually to the dry mixture. Knead until you get a smooth, non-sticky dough.
4. Prepare for Frying: Load the dough into a chakli or shev press. Press the dough into spiral shapes directly onto the air fryer basket.
5. Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Place chaklis in a single layer in the basket. Air fry for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Turn midway for even cooking.
6. Cool and Store: Once cooked, let them cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
