Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 cups Cooking oil (for frying, preferably coconut or avocado oil)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and ground flaxseed. Mix well to ensure the flours are evenly distributed.
Add salt, cumin seeds, and sesame seeds. Mix thoroughly.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave it for a few seconds until fully melted.
Slowly incorporate the melted butter into the flour mixture, mixing well to form a crumbly dough.
Add warm water gradually into the mixture, little by little, and knead to form a smooth, soft dough that holds together.
Transfer the dough into a murukku or cookie press fitted with the desired shape disc.
Heat coconut or avocado oil in a deep frying pan on medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (180°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping in a small piece of dough; it should rise to the surface quickly.
Press the dough directly into the hot oil, forming spirals or any preferred shape. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Fry the murukku in batches for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, ensuring to flip midway for even cooking.
Once cooked, remove the murukku using a slotted spoon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Allow the murukku to cool completely. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
