Thengai paal murukku| Murukku using coconut milk, a flavourful murukku made using rice flour, moong flour, and coconut milk, recipe with full video in tamil. Murukku is an easy snack which is made in most of the houses for diwali. Generally we make Thenkuzhal or mullu murukku for Diwali. But my sister was telling me to post this thengai paal murruku since last diwali. Since i was not sure as it will be give a mild sweetness i didn’t try. But very recently i came to know that this Thengai paal murukku will be very flavorful and will not have any traces of sweetness. It tasted super flavourful and thanks to my friend’s Mother in law for this recipe. Do check out other interesting murukku varieties from Jeyashri’s kitchen.
