I was so tempted by the murukku been shared by our blogger friends from past few days for diwali and so made this healthy and crunchy murukku a perfect snack and can be served as an evening snack    with a warm cup of tea. These are super crunchy and a healthy version which my kiddo loved this a lot and finished them all . 

Here is have used a store bought quinoa flour but you can make this at home too will post that i separate post . Murukku are very well known indian savory which can be either  swirled or in the form of sticks. They are a great side of rice items and can also be a great snack to munch any time in a day.So lets move to my experiment 😛 .. Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#34.
