2. Mix rice flour, gram flour, chick peas flour, chilly powder, cumin seeds, sesame seeds, curry leaves and salt. Add the soaked channa dal to the mixture .
3. Add water little by little and make the dough as murukku dough. Make small lime size balls and flatten each balls as thin as possible.
4. Deep fry until it is brown and crispy. Store it in a airtight container and enjoy with tea.
