Mundiri Murukku /Cashew Murukku

Coming to day2 of blogging marathon #93,themed under Diwali sweet and savories is a crunchy murukku.
This is a super crunchy murukku with cashew and roasted gram powder.I tried this murukku only with cashew powder and rice flour couple of times.It came out good and not as crunchy as expected.Then I used some roasted gram dhal powder along with cashews and the result was amazing and the murukku came out so cruchy and stayed crunchy for longer time.
