What is Wheat Flour Murukku?


Whether you call it wheat flour murukku or aate ki chakli, it is all the same. Originally, the chakli recipe contained either besan, rice flour or urad dal. This murukku recipe is a twist on it with the inclusion of versatile wheat flour. The ingredient provides a unique flavour and a crumbly texture to the snack, allowing for a refreshing appeal to the traditional chakli. Apart from wheat flour, this murukku also includes chilli powder, sesame seeds, spices and butter to boost its appeal.

Cooking Tips for Wheat Flour Murruku

 

Here’s how to get the most out of this easy murukku recipe: 

 

  • Adjust the amount of red chilli powder to your taste preferences. If you need slightly more heat, you may always add ajwain or carom seeds to the mix. 

  • The sought-after dough consistency for the murukku dough should be firm yet soft enough to pass through the press. 

  • The temperature of the oil should be hot enough to cook. If the oil is too hot or smoking, the murukku dough may burn while remaining undercooked on the inside. 


The trick to a great chakli recipe is in its ingredients. While being true to the traditional recipe, on this journey of learning how to prepare murukku, you may always experiment with flavours to create your own unique spin on it. That is the beauty of an instant murukku snack. Cook away batches of it at home, so when tea time strikes, you can enjoy a plate full of it with a cup of steaming chai by its side.
