Utilization of the Rolling Pin and chakla

1-Lightly dust the work area and arrange the pastry dough on top. If necessary, dust with additional flour. To prevent the rolling pin from sticking to the dough, coat it with flour. Strike the dough's surface with your dominant hand until it is flattened.

2-Add flour to the top and bottom of the dough. With one hand, grasp both ends of the rolling pin. The primary part of the pin should be pressed into the centre of the dough. Push down and roll to the edge in one swoosh. Continue rolling out the dough's edges in this manner until all of the dough's edges have been rolled out. Continue rolling the dough 1/4 turn at a time, always starting in the centre and going outwards.

3-A heavier teak wood rolling pin flattens the dough faster than a french rolling pin. To use, place your hands flat on either end of the pin with your fingers flexed. Below your hands, roll the pin across the dough. As needed, continue to sprinkle flour on the work surface.

4-Round the dough with a French rolling pin. One hand should be flat and fastened to the dough on top of the pin. With the other hand, roll the pin in a circular motion to create a rounder, broader outline. Roll the dough in a circular motion until it is fully flat. Regularly lift and flip the dough, dusting the work surface with extra flour to keep it from sticking or ripping.

Tips to keep your chakla belan last longer

Hygiene in the kitchen

You must ensure that your kitchen is completely clean. After all, the heart of the home requires slightly more attention than the rest. To prolong the life of your Chakla Belan, keep the kitchen well-ventilated and dry. Kitchens with damp regions are rarely a healthy location to store chakla belan. Additionally, keep cobwebs away from your belan. Periodic pest treatment is also recommended to maintain your kitchen pest-free.

How should one clean?

As with all other kitchen appliances, your chakla-belan should be clean. Occasionally, we prepare Rotis and set the chakla belan aside. However, the accumulation of atta in the microscopic gaps of the chakla or belan can provide an ideal environment for bacteria or fungi to flourish. It may result in a variety of ailments that "Ghar ka Khaana" is not supposed to produce. Therefore, after each cooking session, including rotis, parathas, or kachoris, properly clean the chakla belan. Cleaning the chakla belan may differ slightly according to their substance.

Why Wooden chakla belan?

Chakla Belans made of wood are seen in nearly every Indian household. They can practically endure an eternity with proper maintenance. Here are a few methods for extending their life:

Cleaning wooden chakla belans is best accomplished by wiping them clean with a moist cloth. However, if you have allowed some dough to collect, you can softly scrub it with a mild detergent and water solution. You do not need to be concerned about the type of detergent you use because the majority of detergents are non-corrosive to wood; nonetheless, avoid soaking the wood in the detergent. As long as the detergent assists in cleaning the remaining atta adhering to the belan, you should be fine.

Never keep the chakla-belan submerged in water, as wood absorbs moisture rapidly. Wet wood is well-known for being an ideal silent breeding ground for a variety of bacteria.

Before storing the wooden chakla-belan, ensure that it is totally dry. A quick wipe with a clean cloth or dish towel should suffice. You can store it wherever in the kitchen, but ensure that the storage area is dry and pest-free.

Avoid washing the wooden belan in the dishwasher since overheating the wood may cause it to break.

Suppose your favourite wooden chakla-belan has developed some mould as a result of unfortunate circumstances. In that case, we propose replacing it, as there is no assurance that you will be able to access the mould growing inside the wood. Rather than relying on dangerous chemicals, invest in a new one.
