Murukku tips:
- Do not keep the dough for a long time. Make sure you keep the dough covered throughout to avoid drying of the dough.
- Do not mix the whole flour at a time to make dough. Make dough little by little and fry at once. Otherwise, the preparation will become red.
- Make sure the rice flour and other flours, you use is fine in texture. Otherwise the Murukku will break.
- Butter gives whiter color and crisp texture.
