Tips (ಸಲಹೆ): 

 * Use good quality of Rice flour

 * Remove the lumps from the dough to avoid bursting while frying

 * Chakkulis should be properly immersed in oil & deep fried in medium flame with frequent stirring

 * If the holes of the 'Chakkuli Presser' are bigger, it will take little more time to cook & chakkulis will turn brown color

 * While pressing the Chakkuli, if it breaks, add little water to the batter & mix

 * Mix the batter before putting it to 'Chakkuli Presser' each time

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 * ಗುಣಮಟ್ಟದ ಅಕ್ಕಿ ಹುಡಿಯನ್ನು ಉಪಯೋಗಿಸಿ  

 * ಚಕ್ಕುಲಿಯು ಎಣ್ಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಡಿಯದಂತೆ ಹಿಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಕಾಳುಗಳನ್ನು ಪೂರ್ತಿಯಾಗಿ ಬಿಡಿಸಿ 

 * ಚಕ್ಕುಲಿಯನ್ನು ಎಣ್ಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ಮುಳುಗಿಸಿ ಆಗಾಗ ತಿರುವುತ್ತಾ ಮಧ್ಯಮ ಉರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕರಿಯಿರಿ

 * ಚಕ್ಕುಲಿ ಬಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ತೂತು ದಪ್ಪಗಿದ್ದರೆ, ಚಕ್ಕುಲಿ ಬೇಯಲು ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಸಮಯ ಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ ಹಾಗು ಚಕ್ಕುಲಿಯು ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಕೆಂಪಗಾಗುತ್ತದೆ

 * ಚಕ್ಕುಲಿ ಒತ್ತುವಾಗ ತುಂಡು- ತುಂಡಾಗಿ ಬಿದ್ದರೆ, ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ನೀರು ಹಾಕಿ ಕಲೆಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿ

 * ಹಿಟ್ಟನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿ ಸಲ ಅಚ್ಚಿಗೆ ಹಾಕುವ ಮೊದಲು ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಕಲೆಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿ
