Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice flour
- 0.5 cup Urad dal flour
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
- 0.5 teaspoon Asafoetida
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
- 1 cup Water
- as needed Oil for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, urad dal flour, sesame seeds, carom seeds, asafoetida, and chili powder.
Melt the unsalted butter and add it to the dry mixture. Mix well until crumbly.
Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring continuously, until it forms a soft, non-sticky dough.
Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a thin rope, roughly 5-6 inches long.
Connect the ends of each rope to form a ring, pressing gently to seal.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. The oil is ready when a small piece of dough dropped into the oil rises to the surface fairly quickly.
Carefully drop a few dough rings into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the murukku rings on medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally for even cooking.
Remove the fried rings using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Allow the murukku to cool completely. Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
