A wooden chakla is a traditional Indian kitchen utensil that serves as a flat, circular platform for rolling out dough for various types of Indian bread like chapatis, rotis, and puris. It is an essential tool in Indian cooking, particularly for making unleavened bread, which is a staple in many Indian households. The term "chakla" is derived from the Hindi word "chakla-belan," where "chakla" refers to the flat round board, and "belan" is the rolling pin used in conjunction with it.
Typically, a wooden chakla is made from hardwood, such as sheesham (Indian rosewood) or neem wood, which are known for their durability and resistance to moisture. These woods are not only sturdy but also impart a natural flavor to the dough, enhancing the taste of the final product.
A wooden chakla is usually circular, with a smooth, flat surface that measures around 10 to 12 inches in diameter. It rests on three wooden legs that elevate it slightly above the kitchen countertop, allowing for easy rotation while rolling out dough. The raised edges of the chakla prevent the dough from spilling over, providing a clean and controlled surface for kneading and rolling.
To use a wooden chakla, a cook places a small amount of flour on its surface, ensuring that the dough doesn't stick. They then take a portion of dough and gently press it onto the chakla, using a rolling pin to flatten and shape it into the desired thickness. The cook rotates the chakla as needed to maintain an even distribution of pressure, resulting in perfectly round and uniform bread.
In addition to its practical use, the wooden chakla also holds cultural significance in Indian households. It symbolizes the importance of homemade, handcrafted food and represents the connection between generations as the art of making bread is passed down through families. It's not just a kitchen tool; it's a symbol of tradition, family, and the heart of Indian cuisine.
