Mullu murukku | Mullu thenkuzhal | Chakli recipe with full video and detailed step wise description.

Mullu Murukku | Mullu Thenkuzhal| Chakali| Magizhampoo is a crispy snack that we usually make for Diwali or Janmashtami. My mom and mother in law usually grind the flour in a rice mill and make this Mullu murukku. Usually, I pack that during my yearly visit to Chennai. But I thought to share this post for people living in abroad who don’t have access to rice mills. I have given the measurements of making flour in the rice mill too.

The tips to get perfect crispy murukku is to make the dough soft and crack free. Always use hot oil or softened butter to make the dough. Do not add more quantity than mentioned in the recipe. It will end up giving shapeless murukkus. Always heat the oil and once it becomes hot, bring it to medium flame and make the murukku. The very low flame will absorb more oil and make soggy murukkus. Too much hot oil will make it get cooked very fast and in turn, make it uncooked inside.

If grinding the Mullu murukku flour in Rice mill Grind 3 cups of raw rice along with 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp of roasted chana dal(kadalai paruppu) and 1/2 cup of roasted yellow moong dal. This yields 4 cups of Mullu murukku flour.

  1. You can use readymade riceflour and besan, but do you get moongdal flour in stores.if yes you can try just sieve all the flour 2 to 3 times to ensure even mixing

  2. adding chana dal sounds new to me…
    I too have packed murukku flour from India, U have done a gr8 job jeya 🙂 need lots of patience while grinding and sieving.
    love the color and texture of the murukku dear

  3. ரொம்ப சூப்பராக இருக்கின்றது…தெளிவான விளக்கம்…பகிர்வுக்கு நன்றி…

  4. can we use store bought rice flour and just add roasted powdered dal to it to make the flour? If yes, what will the proportion of arisi maavu be? Love your recipes!!! Thanks for posting

    • Hi
      You Can use store bought rice flour too. 1 cup of raw rice yields 1and 1/4 cup flour approx. No need to roast the flour. But sieve it twice with dal powders to ensure even mixing.

  5. what is the proportion of store bought rice flour to the powdered roasted dals as you have listed above? 1 cup raw rice likely does not equate with 1 cup rice flour. Also, you dont have to roast the rice flour, right? Love your recipes!!! thanks for posting

    • The color if ur particular wash and soak the rice for half an hour and drain the water and dry it in a clean cloth inside the house. Grind this either in the mixer or in the flour mill to a very fine powder. This will give you the white colour murruku
