- For this Murukku or Chakli you can put Carom seeds/Ajwain, and white sesame seeds too.
- Do not make the dough too soft by adding water, it will absorb too much oil.
- You can use ghee/butter for preparing the dough, however I have not used any hot oil/ghee/butter for preparing the dough.
- To test the temperature of the oil, always add a little piece of dough to the oil. If it comes up gradually, the oil is just right for frying. If it comes up super quickly, the oil is too hot.
- Deep fry on a medium flame. If you fry on high flame then the colour changes to brownish but it will not be cooked properly from inside.
