Gokulashtami is around the corner. As I have already shared Vella seedai , Uppu seedai , Kai murukku , thattu vadai and Appam recipes , I wanted to try some other easy neivedyam recipe. Yesterday I came across this super crunchy butter murukku recipe/Benne murukku under easy Diwali snacks recipe.I bookmarked it immediately and tried it on account of Krishna jayanthi. The results were too good. We loved it a lot and the whole box got emptied in minutes. Making kai murukku may be difficult to some of you in this festive season. It needs a lots of practice & patience. In that case, this butter murukku comes to rescue. 


As Lord Krishna is fond of butter, this recipe suits this festival very well. Its so easy to make and you don’t need to prepare soaked & ground processed rice flour or urad dal flour for murukku dough. Just store bought idiyappam flour, roasted gram flour and besan flour would do. I tried this recipe from 7aum suvai by making a small change in the ratio of flours to make white colored murukku. It came out well with crispy, melt in mouth texture. Friends, If you are looking for some easy murukku recipes for this Gokulashtami, Diwali and other festivals you can go ahead with this recipe. You can make it successfully even if you are a beginner. It’s a good tea time snack & for packing kids snacks box. Lets see how to prepare butter murukku recipe with step by step pictures.
