Arisi Maavu Thenkuzhal Murukku / Nylon Thenkuzal / Thenkuzhal Type 2

 In this method of making Thenkuzhal the murukku will be very light, airy, crispy and not hard to chew. And we do not add chilli powder or any flavoring to this Thenkuzhal, we particularly make this Thenkuzhal for our grandparents and small childrens.
I would suggest you to use 3 hole Thenkuzhal plate in murukku press, because if you use single hole plate the murukku is very delicate and will break into pieces easily.
