When i want something crunchy, tasty and crispy and want to serve with lunch bhindi kurkure comes to my mind first.It is so yum that you can’t stop at one.I had it for the first time at a lunch party hosted by my friend and it was served with bisi bele bath.You can have it with sambhar rice as well.There are also other options to have such as having it as a tea time snack too.So suit yourself and make it and serve as you wish.I prefer adding spices mildly,but it is entirely your choice to adjust your level.

October 14, 2014 by Nithya Leave a comment

Murukku or mullu murukku is prepared during diwali and janmashtami festivals,but i just wanted an excuse to prepare as i wanted to try this very much.I was sceptical about the outcome but then it was Diwali and i had to make it.Many beginners find this rather tricky as the squeezing into perfect rounds is a great task.By practicing for long and with great efforts i could to certain extent make these cute roundels. I made flour at home since i made only a small batch,but if you happen to have a flour mill nearby,better to have grounded there.I have also…
