Manapparai Murukku Recipe - Arisi Murukku - Diwali Snacks Recipe
I also referred Hindu Food safari section and came to know the history of this murukku.Luckily my MIL showed me its original recipe in Thozhi Tamil magazine. My FIL clicked those pages and mailed me as well. When I saw the ingredients I was surprised that manapparai murukku is made of only rice flour/Arisi maavu and there was no urad dal flour or gram dal flour used in it. I followed the same recipe. The result was awesome. It came out 90% closed to the ones I tasted. That 10% difference is due to the oil I used & my murukku mould. My murukku was thicker than the store bought ones as my mould was big. I should have used groundnut oil / Kadalai ennai to get the same taste but I had used refined oil.Moreover the actual recipe called for deep frying twice.B ut I din’t do that. I am planning to make it again for Diwali using my small mould and ground nut oil for frying. I will try to update the pictures too. Now lets see how to make the most popular Manapparai murukku recipe.

Garlic KaraSev Recipe - Milagu Poondu Karasev Recipe
Pepper Garlic Karasev is Sendhil’s favorite snacks. He loves karasev with pepper(Milagu) & Garlic (poondu) more than with red chilli powder. In Tamilnadu, Sattur is very famous for Karasev. I should try that version soon. But today I made Kara sev as per my MIL’s recipe. She usually adds more besan flour & less rice flour. But nowadays she follows a different recipe adding equal amounts of Besan & rice flour. She adds butter or vanaspati but I used hot oil as I din’t have enough butter in hand. It came out well with melt in mouth crispness and white in color. I was so happy with the results. Immediately I made another batch adding more besan and less rice flour to find out the actual difference. I referred Vahchef’s recipe video for this preparation. It was slightly harder to bite and light golden in color. So I have shared both the recipes I tried. Choose & try any based on your liking. Both has its own taste & flavor. I have posted a full video recipe for easier understanding. Do watch it below :)

Eggless Vanilla Cupcakes Recipe without condensed milk - Moist, Spongy Vanilla Cupcake Using Oil
For the past few months, I have been making only microwave mug cake recipes(refer side bar) for her after school snacks very easily within minutes. I think she got bored of them. So she badly wanted me to bake a regular cake this time. As I had already bookmarked some good cake recipes, I quickly browsed through them and tried this eggless vanilla cupcake. This recipe uses simple ingredients.
The cake raised beautifully and tasted great with moist, soft and spongy texture. I couldn’t feel its a no egg, no butter, no condensed milk cupcake. You can dare to try this recipe even if you are a beginner in baking. I have used choco chips in this cake to attract my daughter. You can add chopped nuts or even decorate the cake with simple chocolate frosting or buttercream frosting if you are interested.
Lets see how to make this super moist cupcake from scratch.
If you are eager to know the differences between a cupcake & muffin, here you go
- Cupcakes tend to be sweeter than muffins; there are savory muffins such as cornbread.
- Cupcakes are often iced or frosted, whereas muffins tend to have no topping, or a simple crumb topping.
- Cupcakes usually have a head or top no larger than the body of the cupcake; muffins are often encouraged to overflow their baking cup, so that their top is larger in diameter, giving them somewhat of a mushroom shape.
- Cupcakes are almost always, well, cupcake shaped; muffins can be made as just muffin tops.
- Cupcakes are almost never crispy or crunchy; muffins are often encouraged to brown and develop texture, especially on the top.

Butter Murukku Recipe - Benne Murukku - Vennai Murukku With Video
Butter murukku recipe / Vennai murukku in Tamil and Benne Murukku/ chakli in Kannada is one of the popular South Indian murukku varieties.
Gokulashtami is around the corner. As I have already shared Vella seedai , Uppu seedai , Kai murukku , thattu vadai and Appam recipes , I wanted to try some other easy neivedyam recipe. Yesterday I came across this super crunchy butter murukku recipe/Benne murukku under easy Diwali snacks recipe.I bookmarked it immediately and tried it on account of Krishna jayanthi. The results were too good. We loved it a lot and the whole box got emptied in minutes. Making kai murukku may be difficult to some of you in this festive season. It needs a lots of practice & patience. In that case, this butter murukku comes to rescue.
As Lord Krishna is fond of butter, this recipe suits this festival very well. Its so easy to make and you don’t need to prepare soaked & ground processed rice flour or urad dal flour for murukku dough. Just store bought idiyappam flour, roasted gram flour and besan flour would do. I tried this recipe from 7aum suvai by making a small change in the ratio of flours to make white colored murukku. It came out well with crispy, melt in mouth texture. Friends, If you are looking for some easy murukku recipes for this Gokulashtami, Diwali and other festivals you can go ahead with this recipe. You can make it successfully even if you are a beginner. It’s a good tea time snack & for packing kids snacks box. Lets see how to prepare butter murukku recipe with step by step pictures.
