Mullu Murukku | Mullu Thenkuzhal| Chakali| Magizhampoo is a crispy snack that we usually make for Diwali or Janmashtami. My mom and mother in law usually grind the flour in a rice mill and make this Mullu murukku. Usually, I pack that during my yearly visit to Chennai. But I thought to share this post for people living in abroad who don’t have access to rice mills. I have given the measurements of making flour in the rice mill too. The tips to get perfect crispy murukku is to make the dough soft and crack free. Always use hot oil or softened butter to make the dough. Do not add more quantity than mentioned in the recipe. It will end up giving shapeless murukkus. Always heat the oil and once it becomes hot, bring it to medium flame and make the murukku. The very low flame will absorb more oil and make soggy murukkus. Too much hot oil will make it get cooked very fast and in turn, make it uncooked inside. If grinding the Mullu murukku flour in Rice mill Grind 3 cups of raw rice along with 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp of roasted chana dal(kadalai paruppu) and 1/2 cup of roasted yellow moong dal. This yields 4 cups of Mullu murukku flour. Also check out my
