Ragi Murukku / Finger millet Chakli

 

  This murukku I made for last year Diwali , as I couldn’t post then , I am posting for this Diwali season. This was so delicious and healthy murukku with the goodness of finger millet.

  As these days , the awareness to use the ancient grains have increased, if you make this murukku once  and taste it , you will make it frequently.

Rice flour – ½  cup

Besan ( Chickpea ) flour- ¼ cup

White sesame seeds – 1 tsp

Red chilli powder – 1 tsp

In a mixing bowl , add ragi flour , rice flour and besan flour , chilli powder , sesame seeds and salt , mix well.
