HOW TO MAKE HOME MADE MURUKU

Murukku is a crispy snack which we usually make during festival of light.  Last time during my trip to India, my mom made the flour and packed for me. But unfortunately idue to slight excess in the size of baggage i have to leave this at home. I never thought of making flour for this at home in the mixer(mixie) , but when i tried making yesterday it turned out pretty well .
