This is another crunchy and addictive snack that I made a couple of weeks back for Diwali. I had bought moong flour sometime back and it was sitting in the pantry unused. After talking to my mom, she suggested I make murukku with it. This is just a variation of the thenkuzhal where urad flour is normally used.
Cumin seeds is the only spice in this murukku and is suitable for kids who do not like spicy stuff. My daughter is one of them 
. Like thenkuzhal, this also tends to be on the whiter side. Off to the recipe.
