  13. Congrats Shobhaji! Chakli is an eternal fav snack of mine. How I wish I could have these with a cup of coffee right now. I dont make these snacks often at home now but hopefully this Diwali, this would be a must try at my end. I love the addition of palak in them, must have given out a great flavour as well.
