Murukku / Chakkli

எல்லோருக்கும் எனது இனிய தீபாவளி நல்வாழ்த்துக்கள் ! This is a very easy to make snack for diwali, nothing to go wrong in it. Just follow the instructions for a crispy melt in the mouth murukkus. I used freshly bought rice flour and urad dal flour from the store.   முறுக்கு செய்முறை : (makes 30 murukkus) Rice Flour - 1 cup Urad Dal Flour - 1/4 cup Butter - 2 tbsp at room temperature Salt- 1/2 tsp or as per your taste Carom Seeds ( also called Ajwain or Omam ) - 1/2 tsp Water - 1 cup In a large bowl, add the rice flour, urad dal flour salt and omam, and mix nicely. Now add the butter and mix well.  Now start adding the water little by little and make a soft dough.  Take a star shape disc in the presser and make murukku shapes on a butter paper or any plastic sheet. Heat oil in a pan and the oil should be medium hot.  Put one by one into the oil and fry till the bubbles go away.  Once they cool down, store in air tight container up
