Diamond Murukku
Murukku is a savory and crunchy snack popular in Southern part of India. It is similar to cracker made with rice, split green gram and sesame seeds. You can have it with tea or coffee. Today I am making this recipe in simple steps at home.

Resting Time : 10 minutes
Ingredients :
- Rice Flour - 1 cup
- Moong Dal / Split Green Gram - 2 1/2 tablespoon soaked

- Salt - 1 teaspoon
- Red Chili Flakes - 1 teaspoon
- Butter - 1 tablespoon
- Asafoetida / Hing - 1/2 teaspoon

11. Cut the uneven sides of the sheet for even shape of diamonds. This step is optional.
12. Cut the sheet in small diamonds and separate them gently.
13. Heat oil on medium heat for frying and add the diamonds in the medium hot oil. Fry them evenly till they turns golden brown. Once done, take them out in a kitchen towel.
