Murukku

Murukkus are one of the popular snacks in our house especially during Christmas time.  It can be prepared in a simple way.  Murukkus came out crunchy and tasty.  You need a murukku mold to prepare Murukkus.

Ingredients

Rice Flour - 3 cups
Urud Dhal Flour (Fried) or Fried chickpea flour - 1/2 cup
Salt
Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
Sesame seeds - 1 teaspoon
Butter - 3 teaspoon (room temperature)
Oil for Frying

Method

Mix all the ingredients in a wide pan.  Add water slowly to knead it to a stiff dough (like chapathi dough).

Take a small amount of dough and put it in the mould (I used the 3 star attachment).

Heat oil to fry the Murukkus. When the oil becomes hot enough, press the dough right on top of the oil. Press it until a sufficient amount has dropped into the oil.

Fry them until the Murukkus are golden brown in color.  Drain them, let them cool and store them in an air tight container.
