White Chekkalu

White Chekkalu are traditional rice crackers shaped into neat circular discs and prepared using rice flour, spices, and sesame seeds. These are deep-fried until they achieve a crisp and golden texture, offering a satisfying crunch in every bite. The addition of spices gives them a mildly spicy and savoury flavour. They are slightly thicker than other snacks, making them filling and enjoyable. Prepared using traditional methods, they carry an authentic homemade taste. White Chekkalu are commonly made during festivals and special occasions. They retain their crispiness for long durations when stored properly. Their texture and flavour make them a perfect accompaniment to tea or coffee. They are widely loved across South Indian households. The use of simple ingredients ensures a natural and rich taste. This snack remains a timeless favourite for its crunch and tradition.
