Mullu Murukku Recipe with step by step pictures. This crispy murukku or chakli is one of the easy snack you could make for diwali.
Mullu Murukku Recipe
I have thought that making murukku is one of the hard job I can imagine..I know many of you have that experience. But Amma has simplified this process for you..She make the perfect murukku with no effort. Actually in our first batch of murukku making. she took rice and ground it in a grinder and made into a smooth paste. But in our second batch we took rice flour and mixed it with powdered roasted channa dal flour and made murukku. And I am telling this is more tasty and easier than the first one.
The one important thing you should remember while doing muruku is the proportions. We used the traditional murukku achu for making this, but I think you can make it in piping bag with star tip or any of your favorite tip.

Looks great..very crunchy! My mom used to make this and I always thought how it was possible to do without that special gadget...great tip on using a piping bag instead. I would never have thought of that!

Uffff.... perfectly shaped murukku. Really a nice way of making this first on plastic cover, but how do you lift that. It looks so delicate. But great work dear.

Hi Aarthi
Thanks for the recipe. Would like to try this. My usual recipe turns out the murruku a bit harder. Would like to know if rice flour is ok or idiyapam flour ( will make the murukku more crunchier?)
thanks
