Paruppu murukku recipe | Dal murukku recipe, Easy to make crispy paruppu murukku with full video and step-by-step pictures.
We have a lot of murukku varieties in Jeyashri’s kitchen. This one is very similar to the ulundu murukku recipe. But with the addition of green chili and other dals. It was very crisp and tasted very nice too.
Usually, we add either urad dal powder with rice flour and make Thenkuzhal. Or else we add pottukadalai flour with rice flour and make Pottukadalai murukku. The Traditional mullu murukku is made using, a mix of rice flour, moong dal flour, and chana dal flour. This paruppu murukku is made using store-bought rice flour. You can use idiyappam flour also.
If you can’t roast the dals and make them into a fine powder, you can make this easy dal murukku at home. In this method, we are cooking the dal in a pressure cooker. LAter we grind them along with green chilis and make the murukku dough. The murukku turned out very crispy and flavourful.
