Capsicum is a much ignored salad vegetable that has been combined with lots of colours and flavours which perfectly complements the delicate flavour of sweet lime. This salad is a great accompaniment for a continental main course and is also a good choice for takeaway lunches. To keep salad fresh and crisp add salt just before you eat it.

Tips for baked bajra chakli. 1. Ensure that the bajra flour is fresh. Old bajra flour has a nutty smell which can spoil the taste of the chakli. 2. Nigella seeds can be replaced with sesame seeds. 3. If the dough is breaking while forming the chakli, it means there is less moisture. Take the dough out of the chakli press, add a tablespoon of water at a time and knead again. 4. If you are not getting a proper shape, it means the dough is too moist then add some flour and knead again. 5. The size of the chakli can be your choice. Just ensure that the spirals are not spaced out but an intact coil. 6. Ensure to seal the end of each chakli so that it doesn’t open up while frying. 7. Use a flat ladle as shown in the image to transfer each chakli from the plate to the baking tray. 8. If you are facing a lot of trouble while making the spiral coil then simply, make 2 -3 inch-long sticks or pipe them in a straight line like a rope and after baking them break them into pieces. 9. Remember to cool them completely. Slight warmth can reduce the crispiness of chaklis and make them soggy.
