Its Diwali , the festival of light in just fifteen days. I can see bloggers posting lip-smacking sweets and savories which really tempts me.I'm enjoying all the virtual treats of festive foods in social media and feel to grab those directly from my screen, pity me.Planning ,planning to do soem festive post but never cook as feeling lazy.Yesterday somewhat I managed to cope over the laziness and try this snack .
This ring murukku is so simple and many must have seen at sweet vendors shops.I don't know why its called andhra murukku may be the use of spice powder, my wild guess.I would sure to grab some packets when I saw these and these make perfect for tea time snack.
