Kadalai Mavu Murukku

          This is again a very easy version of Murukku. Two varieties of Murukku, I uesd to prepare. First one using, dried rice flour and Urad Dhal flour. The Urad Dhal Murukku has a unique flavour and this is very much relished by some of my friends, hailing from our hometown, Tirunelveli, may be termed even as biased. The other variety was known to me after we started living in Coimbatore. Here the people make Murukkus by grinding the Idli Rice in a wet grinder and mixing it with pottukadali powder. This has a very good taste where as the Urad Dhal Murukku has an aroma. Anyway, both come handy for me.

      This Kadalai Mavu Murukku was tried by me some four months back; the Murukkus were very crispy and tasty. Just by taking 2 cups of rice flour and 1 cup of Beasn Flour, the work gets over in 30 minutes, No grinding, no powdering. Both flours are available across the counter, right from small shops.
