Moong dal murukku, Pasi paruppu murukku recipe – a traditional murukku recipe with the addition of moong dal.
I have tried murukku with roasted moong dal flour but when I saw this recipe here with cooked moong dal paste, it sounded interesting to me.I love trying different murukku recipes so tried it today, the murukku came out super crunchy yet melt in the mouth and flavourful.

- The dough should not be too tight not too loose too.
