Pottukadalai Murukku / Crispy Murukku Recipe / Fried gram Murukku / Easy Diwali Snacks :
Today I am posting an easy version of
Murukku, Pottukadalai ( fried gram ) Murukku which we usually make for Diwali.
This is my Mom’s signature recipe
and is a favorite snack in our home. It is more tasty, crunchy and crispy. Butter
is a main ingredient in this recipe, since it helps the murukku to stay crispy
for long.
Here goes the traditional and classic snack
recipe..:)

ReplyDeleteஎதற்காக சுடு தண்ணீர் ஊற்றி மாவை பிசைந்தீர்கள் நான் இதுவரை கேள்விப்படாத ஒன்று
ReplyDeleteHi Devi, its not hot water...only warm or lukewarm water should be added to knead the dough. This makes the dough very soft (like chapati dough) more than when its kneaded with normal temperature water.
