Mullu Murukku

By January 11, 2013

I have never tried this murukku ,because I was always skeptic that it will be very painful to try and I am right!! it was little difficult by the time I was done my hand were red. I really need to have more strength in my hands hmm...well but when it was done and when I tasted the murukku after 1 hr,I felt it was worth the pain. I loved the spice in it. It was so good for my evening snack. I have heard from my mom that latest murukku press  just needs a little press and its very easy to make. So if you want to make it easy go for it. I must get it too when I visit India next time. I have added little chilly powder because I like it spicy but if you don't want it just omit that particular step. So now enjoy this crispy savory recipe.

Ingredients

Instructions

chakralu
1. In a pan dry roast channa dal, pasiparuppu till they turn mild brown in color. Keep them separate & let it cool. Then powder them well in a blender and sieve them along with the rice flour.

2. Now transfer them in a bowl and add salt,hing,chilly powder,sesame seeds/yellu and unsalted butter and mix it well adding water little by little.

3. Now you will get a thick dough like chapathi and then close it with a wrap. Then heat oil in a pan for deep frying, you need the STAR shaped murukku press to make this one. You get one star shaped and 3 star shaped, you can use any of these two. But I have used single star one.

4. Take some ladle rub some oil on it and stuff the with the dough in to the murukku press and then press and circle it in an anticlockwise direction to form the perfect shape. Then slide them slowly inside the hot oil kadai. I made 3 batches since it was a small pan.

5. Now let it fry in the oil. Flip to the other side when one side is mildly browned.When both the sides are done collect them in a tissue paper and make other batches too.

6. Now crunchy savory is all set and ready to eat. Leave them outside for 15-20 mins let them cool down,then collect them and transfer to an air tight container.
