how to make manaparai murukku /rice(arisi)murukku recipe(diwalisnack)

If somebody is going to visit manaparai then my hubby will always request them to get some packets of manaparai murukku .He has “murukku” weakness generally any type of savoury is a big yes for him. But am not a big lover of murukku varieties.Except kaimurukku which is my long-term favorite snack.As this was rice murukku I too loved it and it’s quite addictive.These were memory lane from the past that was recalled when I was watching news7 tv show that showed the making of manaparai murukku.In that program they did not signify any fat to add to this murukku dough.But I have added it.The procedure shown in the program does not even add urad dal flour only rice flour .It was a big surprise for me. So,for the first time when I did this with a tsp of urad dal flour,it turned out to be too hard but crunchy. Then,finally I followed the original recipe from the program and did it.It turned out to be nice crunchy manaparai murukku. As I have tasted this manaparai murukku several times I can relate the taste with what I have done.Lets now see how to make manaparai murukku
