Kara murukku or Mullu murukku is my favorite and of course everyone loves it. There is no Diwali ffulfills without murukku and adhirasam, right? I love these, even I can’t imagine Diwali without these two recipes. Adhirasam is my most favourite. Last year, I had tried garlic murukku and this year I tried easy mullu murukku or kara murukku.


Chakli


Pottukadali murukku is my family favorite and is easy to prepare. Just mix all the flours and spices together, make dough and shape it… It’s not oily, yeah believe me J It will be so crispy and flavored with roasted gram flour, besan flour and sesame seeds.

NOTE
  • Grind fried gram dal in a mixie jar and sift it and use.
  • You can use either homemade or ready-made rice flour.
  • You can replace sesame seeds with cumin seeds or ajwain (omam).
  • You can skip red chilli powder, if you do not like the flavour.
  • Add butter instead of hot oil, if you wish, but make sure do not add more butter it will break while press it or break in hot oil.
  • If the dough its too tight to press then sprinkle little water and knead it into soft pliable dough.  
  • The double frying method will give nice color and cook easily. The tips were given by my mom’s neighbor who makes murukku business.
  • You can press the murukku with any other murukku press. 
  • Don't fry the murukku in low heat oil, it will absorb oil.
