palak chakli recipe | palak murukku recipe | spinach murukku with step by step photo and video recipe. there are several variation to the traditional chakli or murukku recipe which completely dependson the types and proportion of flours used. palak chakli or spinach murukku is one such variety with loads of spinach greens which makes it healthy and tasty too.
i have prepared this recipe very similar to my previous butter murukku recipe with the addition of spinach puree. also in this recipe i have not blanched the palak leaves before making a puree of it. this is because we are deep frying the palak chakli and deep frying is more than sufficient for the palak puree. further, i have also added green chillies while preparing the spinach puree. this adds the additional flavour and spice to the palak murukku;however it is completely optional. in addition even 4-5 mint leaves can also be added to give a minty flavour to the chaklis.
furthermore, some important tips and suggestions for a perfect and crispy mouthwatering palak chakli recipe. firstly, the critical part of any chakli or murukku recipe is its dough. do not make it extra soft or extra hard. soft dough would result in oily chakli’s and hard dough would result in brittle. secondly, the chaklis should be deep fried in medium flame, otherwise it would not cook evenly if deep fried in high flame. finally, i have added 1 tsp of butter, but this can be extended to 2-3 tsp to make it more tastier and softer.
