Thank you Neha for your kind comments. I will try to post more tried and tasted recipes.
Though I didn’t try many of your recipies, I always refer your site for tasty and healthy dishes / snacks, especially traditional dishes. Thanks a lot for tirelessly providing such lovely recipes. I will try ‘butter murukku’ tomorrow. Hope it comes well 🙂
Hi Maam, the rice flour here can be a store bought one or the usual processed rice flour
HI priya,
You can use store bought rice flour.
hi mam, Pls tell me how to make homemade rice flour for this murukku ?
Hi Prabha,
Wash the rice and spread it in a clean cloth and allow to dry in shade. When it is dry, put it in a mixie and grind it to a fine powder. Seive it and use. If you want to make in large quantity, you can send it to flour mill (if you have one in your place) and grind it.
Hi Mam,
Thank you i made the flour at home to make Ribbon bakoda, it came out well.

dear madam,
i’m quite new to indian cooking.but i remember the taste.I find your recipes are my favorites.I want to try. The problem is Idon’t understand some of the ingredients.
In this recipe please tell me what is pottu kadalai
Hi Vijitha,
Thank you for visiting my site. “Pottukadai” is the dhal we use it in making Chutney also known as “Chutney dhal”. It is actually puffed gram dhal sold in shops.
Hi kamala
This is my go-to recipe whenever I make murukku. Have tried it multiple times, and it always comes out great.
A big thank you to you
Thank you for your kind feed back.
hi mam,i am actually going to try your ragi murukku today I actually got struck up with the cup size. I am taking 1 cup as which I brought as the measurement cup(1 cup ,1/2cup..1/3 ,and 1/4 cup)so for this measurement will the spoons size match(1 tbsp.,1tsp,1/2tsp,1/4tsp )so I am taking measurements according to the 1 cup.will let u know how it came out.thank u ur recipes r very good.
Hi Hameeda,
I already got your feedback on Ragi Murukku. Hope now you are clear with the cup and spoon sizes. Moreover, in Indian cooking a slight change in spoon measurement will not make much difference.
tried ur ragi murukku came out very well.thanks for the recipe.the cup sizes were perfectly correct.thank u aunty.
Thank you Hameeda for your kind feed back.

Dear Ms. Kamala,
Your recipes are absolutely the best. They are simple, without fuss and easy to follow. Is it OK to make this murukku without chutney flour?
