I’m a big fan of murruku. Whenever i see a recipe of murukku, get tempted to make it. But something holds me back. Hopefully this time I may fight back my inhibitions and make it. If I replace split gram with besan, would it affect the taste?

Great looking and crunchy and I bet you cannot stop at eating 1. Atleast I cant! Murukkus with filter coffee are the ultimate tea time snack for us south indians.
