• Then add the grounded moongdal paste,mix well and add the protein water little by little to make a smooth dough..
• The dough should not stick with your hands ,that's the right consistency.
• take a handful size dough and fill the murukku press(Murukku Achchu) and shape the murukku into a greased mat or any greased plate or ladle.
• Heat oil for deep frying,once oil get hot put the murukku carefully and fry till light golden brown on both sides.
• Drain in a paper towel and murukku is ready now.
• Usually murukku will not be crispy when it is hot but this murukku is very crispy to eat hot as removed from the oil

Note:I am not able to get the chakli shape,it get broke..b'coz of coarsely grounded moongdal...so u plz make a nice smooth paste of moongdal to get nice shape and design.But taste wise its very nice and more crispy.
