Crispy chak-chak
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Making chak-chak at home is not difficult at all. Moreover, a small number of ingredients yield a large portion, enough for all family members and guests. To prepare the dough sticks, you can use a special pasta-making machine or simply use a regular knife. Make sure to monitor the frying temperature carefully: the dough should gradually turn golden, not fry instantly. Also, don't forget to shake the dough strips in a sieve to remove excess flour. The ready dessert can now be served.
