In nagercoil there is a small shop near my house, where they sell lots of fried stuffs like thenkuzhal, achu murukku, mullu murukku, kai murukku, kara sev and lots of stuff like that. One of their famous and tasty murukku variety is garlic murukku, they dont press it, they make it like seepu rolled murukku. I wanted to try it with my way and make it easily with the press. So i tried it few days back and it turned out so good..

It is so yummy and has tons of garlic flavour in it..I hope you will try this out and let me know how it turned out for you..

    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 !

    @AnonymousThere should be no water content in the dough..If you make the dough smooth and perfect. then it wont burst…

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

    Thanks
