Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Arrowroot flour
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 cups Coconut oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine arrowroot flour, almond flour, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, and salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a small saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and 0.5 cup of water over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Slowly pour the hot liquid into the dry flour mixture. Mix using a spoon or spatula until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more arrowroot flour until it’s workable but still soft.
Fill a piping bag or a murukku maker with the dough. Use a star or round-shaped nozzle to create the traditional spirals or coils of murukku. Pipe the dough into small spirals on a tray or parchment paper.
Heat 2 cups of coconut oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To test the temperature, drop a small piece of dough into the oil; if it rises to the surface quickly, the oil is ready.
Carefully slide the uncooked murukku spirals into the hot oil using a spatula. Fry them in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each batch until the murukku turns golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Use a slotted spoon to remove the murukku from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Allow the murukku to cool completely before serving. It can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
