Murukku/Dal Chakli

     ."Murukku" in Tamil is twisted,No wonder its called murukku right. In tamilnadu "Manaparai murukku" is very famous which is named after a city called manaparai.
         "Murukku" also called  "chakali" in Kannada ,"chakri" in Gujarati ,"Murukulu" or "chakralu " in Telugu "chakri" or "chakkuli" in konkani  ."Rotan gulung Goren" is Malay name for murukku ,I got to know all of it from wikipedia .
        Whatever it is no Diwali is without murukku whether north or south(India).There are so many different versions of  Chakli .My mom makes this murukku along with Thenkulal murukku for Diwali .We just gobble them without knowing the ingredients .Just days before i asked my mom about it .
     People make murukku with urad dal ,moondal along with riceflour .But this murukku is very different with 3 Dal's. Dal  murukku is not only tasty but nutritious even though its deep fried . Make sure Dal's are roasted properly otherwise you get raw smell in murukku .Mommy grind them in  "Rice mills " ,but i can't do that here .So grinded with mixer .Sieve the flour properly .You can skip adding of chili powder .In that case murukku will be white .After your first few murukku taste it and see its salt and spice.

Murukku is indian snack made of wheat,rice flours and deep fried.My mother do simple thenkulal murukku with rice and urad dal for diwali and my grandma do onion murukku and many different murukku for diwali .As kids we used to enjoy them from the day my mom start preparing diwali recipes ,we used to distribute to all our neighbours and those lovely days are gone .I myself has to prepare murukku if i want :(Insipite of these murukku is my alltime favourite and i often do it at home inspite of other healthy snack recipes like salsa,guacamole,masala peanuts
 Its so addictive and i myself cant stop with just one .We can simply munch them when we take one sip of hot tea .. That sounds so intresting right  .Once in a while defenitely i would indulge myself in cravings like this .I usually do murukku with rice flour without any additions like jeera,ajwain .But one time i had a murukku with jeera and ajwain  in my friends house and it was delicious ( a little more oil for me though).So i wanted to do right way .
