Notes:

• I used store bought idiyappam rice flour and ragi flour.Use home made rice flour for more crispiness.Click here for how to make home made Rice flour. 
• Feel free to replace spices as of your choice like sesame seeds(ellu),ajwain {omam},cumin(zeera),chillipowder,garam masala ,crushed garlic,g&g paste depends on your creativity
• Always do test on the oil before frying.
• If your murukku batter breaks while pressing then ,it mean you need to add few tsp of water to make it smooth.Usually ragi flour tends to break easily fr most recipe,so its difficult for few to get shapes.If you want to get perfect shape use warm water instead of cool water.
• If your murukku absorb lot of oil then it means more water in the dough,adjust by adding some rice flour
