Chakli(முறுக்கு )/Murukku recipe/Diwali snack recipes

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 .

Basics of Baking /Essential to buy before baking

Before I start about basics post let me tell you how I got in to baking . I am not well orgainzed and generally  was not comfortable making things which were a little complicated. I still remember my first cake, it was simple banana cake. Like everyone else I started out by googling for banana cake then found a recipe and tried it. Cake was  awesome and I was so happy that I made something totally different from my every day dishes, and it was big hit with my family. I did not bookmark the recipe and next time when I tried to do I ran into trouble. So I started keeping track of ingredients and measurements.

Methi paratha/Vendhayakeerai roti/Fenugreek leaves paratha

Methi in all forms are very good.Because its bitter ,its good for diabetic people .Like other greens its iron rich also.Cleaning of the leaves may be difficult but its worth doing it for your healthy body ,right ?...Leaves should not be cut otherwise you are going to taste its bitterness in the dish you prepare .So whatever you prepare put the leaves full .So that you get the goodness without its bitterness .

I buy methi every week and do methi sambhar,methi dal ,other than that I do this paratha whenever i need a change from dal,sambhar .

If you are looking for a different paratha stuffing check this green channa paratha.
