There is no stop for making murukku, you can make them with any flour your have, but the base of a muruku would be rice flour. If you have that on hand, you can make murukku with anything. This is a basic murukku made with rice flour and pottu kadalai podi. So easy to make but turns out extremely tasty..You can check out my mullu murukku variation of this and other murukku too..
