Ingredients

  • 2 cups

    Rice flour

  • 2 tbsp.

    Fried gram flour (Pottukadalai or putnalu powder)

  • 3 tbsp.

    Besan (gram flour)

  • 1 1/2 tbsp.

    SCS Unsalted Butter (room temp)

  • 1/3 to 1/2 tbsp.

    Salt (to taste)

  • 1 pinch

    Hing

  • 3/4 tsp.

    Cumin or sesame seeds

  • Oil for frying

  • Water as needed (room temp)

Directions

Preparation

  1. Powder 2 to 3 tbsp fried gram in a mixer/ grinder jar
  2. Measure 2 tbsp flour and set aside.
  3. Grease the Murukku maker and set aside.
  4. Mix rice flour, fried gram flour, besan, salt, hing, cumin and SCS Unsalted Butter. Make sure the butter incorporates well and evenly with the flour. Set aside.
  5. Heat oil on a medium flame for deep frying. While oil heats up knead the dough.

Making the dough

  1. Pour water little by little as needed and mix to form a smooth crack-free dough.
  2. Divide dough into 3 parts.
  3. Fill the mould with one of the parts. Keep the rest of the dough covered with a moist cloth.
  4. Check if the oil is hot by testing. To test, add a small flat piece of dough to the hot oil. If the dough raises, the oil is hot enough to fry.

Making the Murukku

  1. Press Murukku maker over the hot oil gently to release the dough. You can also press them on a clean damp cloth / butter paper and gently lift them and drop in hot oil.
  2. Do not crowd the pan as the Murukku needs enough space to fry. Do not disturb them for a minute otherwise they will break as the dough is light.
  3. After a minute, stir often to fry evenly. When they turn golden, drain them on kitchen towel. Repeat until dough finishes.
  4. Cool and store in an airtight jar.
