Easy and Simple Butter Murukku Recipe
Prep time – under 10 mins
Ingredients needed
Rice flour – 1 cup
Fried gram flour* – 1/2 cup
Melted ghee – 3 tsp
Salt needed
Hing/asafoetida – a generous pinch
Oil for deep frying
Preparation
Grind fried gram or chutney kadalai to a fine powder and sieve it. Take 1/2 cup (flat) of this flour and keep it ready.
Sieve rice flour also.
Grease the murukku maker.
Method
In a bowl, mix together rice flour, fried gram flour, melted ghee, salt needed and hing.
Sprinkle water and make a soft but stiff dough. (It should not be too soft nor too hard). Check for salt by tasting the dough.
Heat oil in a kadai, add a small bit of dough, if it raises to the surface immediately, then the oil is hot enough for frying the murukkus. You can reduce the flame to medium now.
Using a single star disc, squeeze murukkus as shown in the picture above either on a plastic sheet or on the back of a slotted ladle or on a small plate (seal the end of the murukku after squeezing) and then gently slide 2-3 murukkus into the hot oil. (see picture below)
Fry both sides until golden brown and remove from oil. Drain the excess oil on a paper towel.
Repeat the same procedure for the rest of the dough. Store it in an air tight container once it cools down.
This is a very easy murukku recipe which does not need any prior preparation. Do try it and give me your feedback.
Note – If you are an expert, you can squeeze murukku directly into the hot oil.
If you are preparing more than 1 cup, do not mix everything. Prepare dough in batches.
*Fried gram is know as Pottu kadalai in tamil, Varutha Kadala in Malayalam, Putanalu pappu in Telugu and Bhuna Chana in Hindi.
