I came to know about Magizhampoo murukku/Magizhampoo thenkuzhal after marriage from my MIL. She makes it every year during Diwali. Last year I gave a try on my own. But its color became very dark as I added more sugar & Coconut milk. This year I referred
this recipe and gave a try.It came out very well and crunchy.The addition of moong dal flour, sugar candy( Kalkandu) and coconut milk is the highlight of magizhampoo murukku. Some people who don’t like sweet taste in murukku avoid using sugar. It tastes good in either ways. But I love the mild sweetness in this mullu murukku more than plain salted ones. So its purely our choice. Lets see how to make magizhampoo murukku in detail !

METHOD
- Dry roast the moong dal till it tunrs golden with nice smell.Roast it patiently in medium flame to avoid burning.Grind it to a smooth,fine powder.Sieve it and measure 1/4 cup of powder.Keep aside.
- Grind 2 tbsp of grated coconut adding 3 tbsp of water.Take the thin extract.Do not add very thick milk.Mix sugar or powdered sugar candy.Dissolve it well.Warm the coconut milk and keep aside.
- In a wide bowl,take the rice flour,moong dal flour,sesame seeds,butter,salt and coconut milk +sugar mixture. Mix well and make a crumbly mixture.
- Add water little by little and make a soft,smooth dough.No problem if the dough is slightly sticky.Take the star murukku mould and fill the dough.Squeeze it in the back of ladle as shown in the picture.
- Heat oil in a kadai and check the oil temperature by dropping a pinch of batter.If it rises immediately,oil temperature is right.Now drop the murukku into the oil and cook in low to medium flame by flipping it whenever needed.Cook both the sides till all the bubbles cease.Remove in a tissue paper and allow it to cool down.Store in an air tight box and enjoy for months !

Note
- Adding more coconut milk makes the murukku hard.So do not use more than mentioned quantity.Use thin coconut milk. you can also use store bought coconut milk powder to make the milk but do not make it more thick.Use thin milk only.
- Adding more sugar changes the color of murukku.So do not add more.This murukku is supposed to be mildly sweet.So no need to add more sugar.Replace kalkandu/candy with sugar if you don’t have it.
- If you don’t like sweet taste,u can omit sugar & use coconut milk alone
- Always cook this murukku in low to medium flame to get a nice,well cooked uniform colored murukku.
