Murukku
Murukku or chakli whatever you call it is always Kids favorite snack.
When i started cooking i used to think as a hardest one as we have to get everything perfect.So i never thought of trying ..We always used to buy it and sometime the storebought one will end up as old stock.
Then i thought i should give it a try. I like the traditional one which my mother in law usually makes but it is hard to make .Then over the internet i found the combination of cooking the dhals and mixing it with riceflour we can make chakli.But for the perfect combination i had to like we say experimented and finally got the proportion...No more boring sentences let's go to the main recipe
