Chakli aka Mullu Murukku (முள்ளு முறுக்கு)- do it yourself

We buy the Chakli (which goes by Mullu Murukku  முள்ளு முறுக்கு in Tamil) from the local desi stores. However there is one problem. It has sesame seeds in it. Everyone loves it including daddy who pretty much is restricted to eating a small piece for taste. 

So every now and then we make it at home with cumin seeds substituting for sesame seeds to give it a slightly different flavor!

Yesterday we had mom away from the house for a few hours and that was the perfect time to launch into the Chakli project with the kids. They pretty much did everything except the frying part. In a few years they will do that also. 

Two hopes as this video is posted

1. Folks who see it use it to make hot chakli 

2. some day Jr. and the little one play this back and make it with their kids (who knows if I will be around to watch that?! at least the video is there to remind them of good times.)

It is not expensive to make. Just time consuming. The end result is great! 

We also made a few bhajjis after the chakli was done to use up the oil that was still left. 

It has been a busy January with work, thoughts of work, a more regular Yoga practice and trying to catch up on sleep. 

Now Feb is flying by! It is almost Valentines day! Should make something special for my babies on Valentines day..
