THEN-KHUZAL MURRUKKU...(without urid dal flour)

THEN-KHUZAL MURUKKU

I'm preparing this murukku for the first time.

My two little kids likes murukku and my friend suggested me this easy and simple murrukku receipe...


INGREDIENTS:-

Besan Flour / Kadalai maavu = 1 cup (I used 200gms cup)

Rice Flour / Arisi maavu = 1 cup



Chilli powder = 1 tsp

Black Pepper Powder = 1 tsp

Ajwain seeds/ Oregano / Omam = 1/2 tsp

Cumin seeds / Jeeragam = 1/2 tsp

Turmeric Powder = 1/4 tsp

Asafoetida = 1/4 tsp

Salt to taste

Oil / Butter = 4 tsp / 20gms



Oil for Deep Frying...


METHOD:-

Heat Oil in a kadai / pan for Deep frying.

In a bowl, (i used Aluminium foil tray), except oil for Deep Frying, mix all the other ingredients one by one and mix well. Add water little by little and prepare the dough for making murukku, and make big balls using dough.

In a presser, ( Murukku making ), put the then-khuzal mould, and apply little oil, inside the presser ( to avoid dough sticking to the inner sides of the presser).





Make Murukku on back side of the plates.




Check the oil, by dropping a pinch of dough into the oil. If the dough rises immediately, the oil is ready for frying.

Keep in low flame.
Just, tilt the plate above the oil for frying, murukku automatically falls into the hot oil. Murukku gets cooked with bubbles around it with ssssshhh sound and it rises from the oil, tilt the other side.Now keep the flame in medium. Once the sound goes, remove the murrukku and transfer it to a strainer. Remove the murukku on time, otherwise it gets burnt. Again, once the oil is hot enough, start making murukku.


Compele the process for the whole dough. About 20 to 25 murukku can be obtained (depending upon the size of the murukku).

This Murukku can be had with milk-tea, or as snacks or with tiffin sambar.
