Moong Dal Murukku Recipe (Dal Chakli)
Moong Dal Murukku is a crispy and crunchy snack made in South India. It is made using rice flour and roasted moong dal flour. Coconut milk, ghee, and sesame seeds are added to the recipe. The murukku is made with a murukku press, and is deep fried till golden. A small amount of powdered sugar candy (Kalkandu) is added to the dough to enhance the taste and to give a mild sweetness. This murukku is one of my most favorite snacks in childhood. It is similar to the coconut murukku which is very popular.
