Cashew Murukku is a rich, tasty savoury made by blending cashew paste in the regular making of murukku. Cashew Murukku is a must try at home for the joy of cooking and to make moments special.
Cashew Murukku is the one of best murukku recipes that I tried this year. Ever since I saw this cashew murukku recipe in Nithis space, I’ve been wanting to try and glad that I tried this year atleast
This murukku is quite addictive and has a melt in the mouth texture with the flavour from cashews that anyone will easily fall for it. Even Mittu who is not fond of eating cashews as such loved this murukku.

Hi How to find out whether the oil is hot enough or not ?
SHARMILEE J
Pinch a small portion from the dough and add it to hot oil, if it rises up immediately then oil is hot and perfect for frying

I tried making cashew murukku and it disintegrated the moment I dropped it in oil for frying. Can you pls help me fix my mistake so that I can try making it for diwali this time?
Sharmilee J
If ghee is more murukku may disintegrate else if the dough is loose also it may split up while frying.
