Cravings can be good at times, especially when they inspire you to get up and get your hands dirty!
Two days ago, I had this serious craving for Murukku. This is a savory, crunchy Indian snack which originated in the state of Tamil Nadu, and derives its name from the Tamil word for 'twisted' because of its shape. Also known as Chakli, this is essentially a deep fried snack best enjoyed with the evening tea. But as the tribe of weight watchers increases, people have come up with its baked versions also.
My craving was totally for the deep fried version. So I watched a number of videos on YouTube (God Bless!) and realized that my kitchen needed to be equipped with a couple of ingredients and the Murukku instrument also. Thankfully, I found them all within a radius of one kilometer. So now, my crispy, crunchy snack is ready. This is the first time I have made it, and the way it turned out makes me feel pretty good! :)
And the craving..? That satiated big time..!! :D
Hot Chaklis Anyone...?!! :)
