     Diwali always mean new dress,snack,sweet and crackers.Diwali is sharing the joy with friends and family.Here our family is none other than friends.So i already prepared 3 snacks ,one is thenkuzhal second one is besan murukku and finally south Indian mixture for sharing it with our friends here.

      Murukku is a never fail snack .If there is enough moisture in the dough, you can make circle of them without fail.If there is too much water i the dough, you get a oily product which is not so appetizing.
    Besan murukku comes in such never fail category.Knead it to chapathi dough consistency (little loose) and you end up in an entire box full of chakli.This instant chakli is a little hard ,not as crispy like regular ones.

  • Heat oil .When the oil is hot enough (check by adding a little dough) , drop each of them by holding the ends(inside and outside) carefully.This will make sure the murukku doesn't open up in hot oil.Also don't press the chakli while dropping in the oil.It will lose its shape.
  • You can drop 4-5 in one batch.This murukku come up/float  very quick .If its crowded then it will not get fried properly.
  • Fry till golden brown by turning in between.When they are brown there won't be any oozing sound or oil bubbles.
  • Filter in paper towel to remove excess oil.Fry all of the murukku in the same way.After  cooling, store them in airtight container.
