ಜೋಳದ ಚಕ್ಕುಲಿ/Jowar Murukku

Murukku who does not like those crunchy melting murukku, these are one of the Indian savouries which should say is quite famous around the world. This time i try to use jowar flour to make these murukku. They were very crispy and melting as found in those bakeries. But I guess I could have reduced the dalda as it was very flimsy to  shift from plate to kadai.
