Murukku



Deepavali Special: Spicy Murukku






Murukku is made from a mixture of besen and rice flour and salt using a special coil to press out the shapes.Murukku can also be rolled into a flat ribbon (ribbon murukku) or shaped by hand (kai murukku) and traditionally enjoyed as a treat on Deepavali.

Serving size:5

Ingredients

5 cups rice flour
2.5 cup besan flour
1tsp black sesame seeds
1/2tsp oma seeds
2tbsp chillie powder
1tsp hing powder
1 cup hot oil
warm water
oil for deep frying

Preparation Methods:
In large bowl mix all ingredient expect water oil. Knead the mixture into a soft dough by add the hot oil and enough of warm water.

Then place a good amount of the dough into the murukku maker and press out the shape onto wax paper. By using wax paper, murukku will easily come off when u fry them in hot oil.
The above figure shows the home-made shape prefered by many ladies in my hometown.

I tried doing the star murukku but at first I couldn't get the shope right.

After couple of time trying I finally got the shape..lovely right?

Heat up the oil in a large wok on medium flame...deep fry each murukku til golden brown. Drain and serve hot with tea of coffee.
