    Mundhiri Murukku is a variety of rice-based murukkus where cashew nut is used as the liquid. This is quite a rich and tasty one to enjoy.

    When I got exhausted with the many varieties I checked and against what I have posted, I decided that cashew murukku sounded very interesting.

    This batch was done along with the other murukkus happened and it was the last one to get done. So you can imagine, I was totally exhausted and lack of idea really settled in very bad! On top, I felt I could make it richer by adding more butter and since it didn’t have any lentil in it, rolled out murukkus didn’t hold their shape and became bits.

    However, taste-wise there was no complaint so you can add just enough butter to make sure your murukkus hold their shape. This is my pick for Day 5 in the BM#104 Sweets & Snacks, where for week 3 I am doing a choice of my own with Rice-based Traditional Snacks for Diwali. You can check out what Vada I have to share on Spice your Life!

      Wow! Cashew based murukku sounds very rich and yum, Valli. Very unique. I don't care for the shape of the murukku. In fact I prefer the bits as they are easier to munch 🙂
