    Millet Murukku is murukku made with thinai flour.I made a batch of homemade thinai flour as I wanted to try snacks and sweets using millets this year.You can make homemade foxtail millet flour or buy it from stores too sa its easily available in many supermarkets these days.

    I should mention about this murukku as it was so crispy that no one had any guesses of thinai flour added to it.Even my neighbor gave good feedback so what are you waiting for?! Try it for this Diwali 2018.
