Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1 cup Boiling water
- as needed Oil for deep frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, asafoetida, and salt.
Add the melted coconut oil to the flour mixture and mix it until it resembles crumbly dough.
Slowly pour boiling water into the mixture while stirring continuously with a spoon or spatula. Bring the dough together until it is smooth and pliable.
Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into thin logs.
Shape each log into small rings by joining the ends and pressing gently to seal.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough but not smoking.
Gently slide 3-4 murukku rings into the hot oil. Fry them in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Remove the fried murukku with a slotted spoon and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Allow the murukku to cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
