These Instant Rawa Chakli | Rawa Chakli can be stored for over 10-15 days and the chaklis will retain all the crispiness. All one needs to do is store them in a nice airtight box. I personally prefer airtight glass containers to store my snacks, etc. You can use stainless steel containers. Avoid plastic boxes as they spoil the aroma of any snacks or food items kept in them.

I have never made really large chaklis/ murukkus. I can easily wind them around a couple more times but I like them slightly smaller. However, feel free to make as large or as small you prefer. If you are unable to wind them around using the chakli press, make 3-4 inch long chakli sticks and fry them, or better still, drop the batter in sticks directly into the batter as we do for making Sev.
