BAKED MURUKKU

Murukku is everyone ‘s favourite snack usually deep fried with cooking oil. But for a change I baked these murukkus  for this  Diwali. This baked version is for Diet conscious friends and weight watchers. And also saves time and no more mess in your kitchen .

METHOD

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl , and mix well.

Knead everything into a semi-soft dough using enough water .

Put the dough into a murukku press to make spiral shapes ( work closely from the centre to the outside to the swirls ) in a baking sheet lined with parchment paper .

Bake these murukkus in a pre –heated oven at 180 degree centigrade for 30 to 35 minutes .

Turn the murukkus once after 15 to 20 minutes .

Your baked murukkus are ready to serve .
