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.

Suma Gandlur says
Wow Valli, your kids must ahve had a blast with all these fried goodies. I had no idea that there were cashew based chaklis. These must be some richly flavored chakli.
Amara says
Wow Valli! You have endless varieties of Murukkus. Using cashews as the liquid is a unique idea and they came out really well.
Harini Rupanagudi says
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 🙂
Sushma Pinjala says
