There are many types of murukku made in Tamilnadu for festivals like Diwali,Krishna jayanthi. Mundiri murukku is one among them,very flavorful with natural fat from cashews, very crispy melt in mouth murukku, very similar to butter murukku with no butter!

You need just 1 teaspoon hot oil to be mixed in the murukku dough, the fat released from cashews makes this murukku very crunchy and also nutty. This is a vegan murukku that everyone can enjoy. I have added omam and chilli powder as I wanted to make spicy murukkku, You can leave out chilli piwder to make light colored murukuu too.
