Hi Aarthi, I regularly follow your blog and I really appreciate ur efforts towards this, that too with a baby around...
I have a general question here
Every time I make murukku the murukku ends up bursting and spilling oil all over, I use rice flour, urad flour and black sesame seeds for making regular murukku.. Can you please share some tips to avoid bursting
Also please provide tips for getting white crispy murukku...
I am out of India and just disparate in making them for this Diwali..
Thanks in advance !
Aarthi
@AnonymousThere should be no water content in the dough..If you make the dough smooth and perfect. then it wont burst...

The murukku looks really...wish to try it...but a bit worried as the last time my mom made murukku,oil bursted and my mom's hand got burned badly.Even she hasn't made murukku after that incident.

Hi Aarthi.... Instead of gram flour, can we use urad dhal flour as we do in ordinary murukku
Thanks

@AnonymousI am not sure..this recipe calls for gram flour

Aarthi can I alternate the amount of arisi mavu and kadala mavu?? 4cups of rice flour and 1 cup of gram flour? I like the rice flour taste more.. Will it stay crispy??
Aarthi
@Marisdont alternate, it may affect the texture
