Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice flour
- 0.5 cup Urad dal flour
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Hing (asafoetida)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Water
- 1 as needed Cooking oil spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, urad dal flour, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, hing, and salt.
Melt the butter in a small pan and add it to the flour mixture. Mix well to incorporate.
Gradually add water to the flour mixture and knead it into a smooth, soft dough. The dough should be pliable but not sticky.
Divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls.
On a clean, flat surface, roll each ball into a thin cylindrical shape, about 4-5 inches long.
Join the ends to form a ring and gently press to ensure they are sealed.
Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray.
Place the murukku rings in a single layer without overcrowding the basket. Use additional trays if available.
Air fry for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are golden brown and crispy.
Allow the murukku to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
Enjoy these low-fat murukku rings as a guilt-free snack!
