There are varieties of murukku or chakli recipe based on the region the ingredient differs. I had shared butter murukku and Karnataka famous kodubale in this blog. The best part about this thenkuzhal murukku is the pacha murukku ( half cooked) the last batch is always half cooked or fried and that taste great. You can also add some chili powder and make it as kara thenkuzhal. Nowdays i make this type of dry snacks for us and store it for a week.
