Tomato murukku, tomato chakli recipe, easy instant murukku made using besan and rice flour and tomato puree. Tomatoes are in season and here in Hongkong, we are getting Indian tomatoes. The bright red tomatoes are too good and I tried a few new recipes and updated a few old recipes with video too. Check out Jeyashri’s kitchen youtube channel for more updated videos.
Murukku I always make during Diwali time. I rarely make it at other times and we don’t buy snacks from outside too. I wanted to try this Tomato chakkli recipe during the last Diwali. But somehow it couldn’t happen. As kids are at home wanted to make this Instant muruku to satisfy their snack cravings. The tomato murukku turned out so well.

Notes
1. Straining the tomato puree is to take out the seeds, else it may be struck while squeezing.
