  3. Fill the murukku press with the dough (use the same plate that we use to make murukku) and press it in hot oil . Do not over crowd it, just press large circles around the frying pan. Do not make layers like we make for murukku.
  4. Fry in medium flame till golden brown, turn over to cook on both sides evenly. Drain the excess oil and break it roughly into pieces. Cool down completely and then store in airtight container.
