Chakla belan or chapati roller and board sets are a time-tested solution to prepare uniform, thin, and perfectly round chapatis. The belan allows you to apply just the right amount of pressure and even out the dough, while the chakla provides a smooth surface for easy rolling. An Indian kitchen feels incomplete without a wooden chakla belan set. It’s a tradition that has been here since the Harrapan era. Thus, it’s safe to say that rotis made using a rolling board and belan strike the chord that takes us to our childhood days or our mother’s and grandmother’s kitchen. 

How to Care for Wooden Chakla Belan?

Caring for your wooden chakla belan is pretty straightforward. Just use a clean, damp cloth to rub off the dough particles. Keep it away from water or just don’t soak it into water to preserve the wood. Air dry it as much as possible and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture sources.
