If you have boys in the house, you know the importance of having munchies in your pantry. Actually coming to think of it, my mom had only girls but still needed to have snacks at all times. So, let me rephrase it this way. If you have foodies/active people in the house, it becomes necessary to either have a busy kitchen or a big grocery budget or both!
My little one is at a stage when snacks appeal more than the real food itself. I am a careful shopper (the husband would say “paranoid”) who reads through the ingredients that go into such snacks. And it so happens that 99.9999% of the times, I place the box back in the store aisle. The mother in me feels very bad at my little one’s sad face and so to make up for it, I have taken it upon my self to make as many snacks as feasible right at home.
Yes, its additional work but since I was the one who bought myself to this situation, I have no choice. But when I started researching and gathering recipes, I found out many creative and healthy snacks that could be put together easily. The husband is pleased as well since I pack those for his tea time snacks at work as well.
Among many such snacks are these, especially familiar to Indians and one of their favorite. There are many variations – Mullu Murukku, Thenkuzhal Murukku, Ribbon Murukku, Chegodilu and the likes. This version uses only rice flour along with Urad flour. Its crunchy with the first bite and then slowly tends to melt in the mouth thanks to the addition of butter. Addictive yet easy to make. (...)
