Thenkuzhal or Mullu murukku/Chakli


Thenkuzhal or mullu murukku gets done in all the south Indian house hold for festivals like Diwali, Krishna jayanthi.Mom used to make this on festival days and i too make this at home on these festivals. My friends love this murukku and they always insist me to make this. But i did this this time because my office friends were literally after me last week asking for this murukku and they specified  that i should add butter nicely so that the murukku and chakli should be crunchy and melt in mouth. so i ended up making them at night after a hectic day in office. But its worth the hard work and iam happy as nearly 10 people ate this murukku and they are in love with this murukku asking for more....Told them give me a break guys....ha ha...Lets see how to make this murukku.
