Diwali, the Festival of Lights, one of the biggest festival of India, is fast approaching and only few days are left to celebrate our colourful festival with great enthusiasm and happiness..! Here I am today with an excellent snack that can be prepared easily and stored for at least a month. This Spicy Murukku is one of my childhood favorite snack and my mom makes it the best. I just love the combo of spicy, crunchy murukku with piping hot cup of masala chai.
