Some easy tips and suggestions while preparing the rice murukku recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend using fine rice flour for this murukku recipe. The murukku from former would absorb more oil while deep frying. secondly, while deep frying the chakli, do not wait until it turns red or brown. As we are not using urad dal, the chakli would remain white in color even after completely cooked. Lastly, the chakli’s can easily last for a month and has a long shelf life. Make sure to store them in an airtight container, in a warm and dry place.
