Pasiparuppu Murukku Recipe | Moongdal Chaklis | Moongdal Murukku - Diwali Special Snack Recipe

Today's recipe is also a Diwali special snack, Pasiparuppu(Monngdal) Murukku recipe with step by step photos. This is one of my earlier post that I wanted to update with new pictures. Finally, for this Diwali I listed this crunchy melt in mouth Moongdal Murukku recipe along with other snacks & sweets recipes to share here. Like Butter Murukku, this is also a flavor rich, crispy and melt in mouth murukku. Traditionally, this Murukku is fried in coconut oil but I used Peanut Oil. Still the murukku got rich flavor due to dal and butter addition.

Pasiparuppu Murukku cooks very fast like Moongdal Omapodi. If you have cooked moongdal in hand then you can fry the whole batch in 25 minutes or less. And it is really an addictive and yummy snack, it all vanished in no time. This is such a easy murukku recipe, only thing is you need to cook moongdal too soft and mushy then run it in a blender to make a puree. If your dal is not cooked and mashed properly then you cannot make a proper shaped murukku. Otherwise, paruppu murukku is so simple recipe. Do try this murukku for Diwali and enjoy with your family and friends.
