That day when I realised
there are no munchies at home and me being me don’t like my family feeding on
store bought munchies hence checked my grocery. And I remembered I had bought
urad flour from the market last week, so just went on to exploring making some crispy snack. If we check on to
murukku recipe there is no dearth for it with the variety of combinations it
has. Hence I thought of going my way.
Picked out rice flour
, gram flour, and rice flour and mixed and kneaded with some spices and extruded using using the chakkuli
maker and used the thick seviya strand moulds.
Anyway the The recipe
follows....
Ingredients
- 1 cup urad flour
- 1 cup gram flour
- 1 cup rice flour
- Ghee – 2- 3 tsp.
- Water – as required
- Spices – (jeera, ajwain, asoafetida, turmeric powder, chilli powder, pepper powder, sesame seeds)
- Salt
Method
In a huge bowl throw in
all the flours, ghee and spices and mix well and then add water little by
little and make a not so soft dough, dough will be sticky so use a fork to
start mixing the dough and use your palm at a later stage. Let the dough rest
for 10- 20 mins.
Heat the oil and fill
the dough in the murukku press and then hold the press above the hot oil and squeeze
out the dough in the hot oil. Turn the murukku over and remove it it to a
kitchen towel once it stops bubbling.
Note :
The dough will be
sticky use a little water to put out just enough dough to fill
in the mould.
Fry in high flame
If the dough turns out
to be watery add any of the flours
little more since wet dough will absorb oil.
Thanks you
