Tips for Perfect Kambu Murukku:

• Proper dough consistency: Ensure the dough is firm and smooth. If the dough is too soft, the murukku will break apart while frying.
• Fry on medium heat: Fry the murukku at medium-low heat to ensure they cook evenly and become crisp without burning.
• Add spices: Feel free to add additional spices like black pepper, garam masala, or coriander powder to customize the flavor according to your taste.
• Crispier Murukku: You can add hot oil to the dough mixture. This helps in making the murukku crispier.
