How to make Peanut Chakli Verkadalai Murukku
- Be ready with peanut paste, for step wise blanching do check almond blanch here.
- Mix all the ingredients (except oil and water) together with ground peanut paste.
- Gradually if needed sprinkle water and make non crack able stiff dough.
- Add the chakli dough in the murukku/chakli press with necessary design/mold.
- Heat oil in a wok/wide pan and meanwhile make some chaklis in a plate.
- For that just make spiral with the dough clockwise starting from smaller round and ending with bigger one.
- Make the rounds too close so that they won’t separate.
- Once done connect the edge with previous round.
- Keep 5-6 ready and while they cook you can make few for next batch.
- Transfer the chaklis from the plate using flat spatula one by one to the hot oil.
- Flip and cook both sides till they turn crisp and brown.
- The first batch may be light in color and later batches looks good.
- Drain with paper towel and have them with hot tea or coffee.
- Allow them to cool completely and store in air tight container for later use.

Hi thank you so much for all your wonderful recipes. I tried thisnpeanut murukku today, but the murukku is soaking up in oil even though the oil is very hot.dont you think the butter and oil together you mentioned in the receipe is way more than what is required.
Thank you and regards

Lalitha thanks for trying out I have tried this Recipe several times and no issues at all. There are several reasons it depends on rice flour you use ( next time reduce the butter quantity and try) also the murukku dough should be stiff and not too soft. Make sure the peanut powder is not too oily. The oil mentioned here is not to go with sticky dough because of Gram flour.
