Kollu Murukku/Kulthi Chakli/Horsegram Murukku

After making Rajma murukku and Ragi omapodi, here comes an another different and completely new chakli i prepared few days back with some cooked kollu aka horsegram. These wonderful tiny beans are very rarely cooked in our cuisine, eventhough these beans are highly healthy and very nutritious. These beans are well advised for dieting peoples and whoever wants to reduce their weight. Frequent intake of these grains helps a lot for weight reducing. Coming to this interesting bean based murukku, i prepared them with a cup of leftover cooked kollu, along with gram flour, rice flour with usual ingredients.

These crispy murukkus are dangerously addictive, seriously none at home will notice the addition of horsegrams in this murukku until you reveal the 'secret ingredient'. Make these different murruku for the upcoming Festival of Lights, if you dunno still wat to make for your Diwali savouries just give a try to this fried beauties.This beauties are going Diwali Delicacies Event, hosted by me and Sangee Vijay of spicy treats and to Gayathri's Diwali Special.
