My daughter is crazy about murukku. When I was talking to my mom, she gave me this recipe. Usually when she uses fried gram in murukku, it breaks a lot and it is very difficult to shape it into murukku. Last week, accidentally she added hot water to prepare the dough and the murukku came out perfect. When she shared this information, I tried it at home. When Sruti came from school, she tried it and was totally impressed with this murukku and the next two days she took it to school for her snacks. I am linking this to Kid's Delight-Evening Snacks and Tiffin started bySrivalli and hosted by Vardini Koushik.
