  2. Taking a mixing bowl, add rice flour, yellow dhal and bengal gram powder, cumin seeds, sesame seeds, asafoetida, salt and mix well. Then add butter and required water to make this into a soft pliable dough.
  3. Heat oil in frying pan, fill the murukku press with this dough with 1 star murukku hole plate. Grease ladle with little oil and make spiral shape as shown in the picture and then drop them in oil.
  4. Deep fry them over medium flame to slightly golden brown. Use paper towel to remove excess oil. After murukku is cool down store in an airtight container.

Notes:

  • You need to wait till bubbles stop to make sure Murukku is well cooked.
  • The dough has to be in a correct consistency,should not be sticky or too hard.
  • Butter is must ingredient in this recipe since it helps the murukku to stay crispy for long.
  • You can also use 3 star mullu murukku mold instead of 1 star mold.
