Besan-Murukku-Easy-Murukku-Recipe
Murukku or Muruku or Chakli is popular evening snack or Diwali/festival recipe made normally with rice flour. Besan Murukku is different from general murukku there is no rice flour used in this recipe, it's just made of besan/chickpeas and spices. Murukku means twisted in Tamil and so this twisted snack is called murukku or Chakli in hindi.


This Besan Murukku is a good change from usual mullu murkku, butter murukku, thenkuzhal murukku, coconut murukku or any other murukku/chakli variety. You might thing it's same as besan sev though the ingredients are almost same but the taste is very different from sev.  This besan murukku is crunchy yet soft just how a murukku suppose to be.

Don't miss carom seeds/ajwain/omam, it's adds wonderful flavor to murukku and also helps in digestion as we are using besan here. Instead of pepper powder you can add red chili powder too if wishes and also little garlic to jazzed it up and make it spicy version.

One thing you have to take are is once you press murukku in oil or drop in oil you should not immediately start frying it with spatual but let it cook for 30 secs to a minute for murukku to get firm, if you immeditely start moving murukku in oil it will break in pieces and more you move the tinier it gets, trust me this is from experience :)
