Similarly make all the chaklis.

Now heat the oil in the pan

When the oil becomes hot, lift the chakli from the butter paper with a light hand and slowly put it in the oil and while turning the chakli from both the sides, deep fry it on medium flame till it becomes crispy from both the sides.

.Do not put too much chakli in oil at once or else it will break.
