Go Eat Learn man (GelMan) is hungry and new to cooking. Like every tech guy, GelMan wants a quicker output with minimum effort by following exact specifications.
Today GelMan likes to try his hand at very famous Indian snack Chakli - below are other names:
Jantikalu, Muruku, Murukku, Chakralu
Though there are many varieties of Chakli - spinach chakli, coconut milk chakli, wheat flour chakli etc, our GelMan wants something very quick as he can't wait more for a quick bite. We'll discuss the preparation of making Rice Chakli in 20 minutes - yes, just 20 minutes!

Tips:
> Listed ingredients would result in 15-20 chaklis, so plan accordingly.> GelMan wants a milder taste today. If you want spicy Chakli, add more salt and chilli powder
> You can add 3 tbsp of butter while mixing flour and ground powder - you will be ready with Butter Chakli/Butter Muruku
> Do not worry about properly shaped Chakli - try for your own funny shaped Chaklis :)
