After the batter is mixed thoroughly it is extruded as a small diameter round-ribbed coil that is then fried into a crispy textured snack. In addition to a single coiled strand, some extruded coils of Chakri are typically formed into round spirals to make a small cookie-like product or formed into flat short ribbons of crispy fried ingredients. When referred to as Murukku it may also be known as Muruku or Murkoo.
