Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 cups Cooking oil (for frying, preferably coconut or avocado oil)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and ground flaxseed. Mix well to ensure the flours are evenly distributed.

Step 2

Add salt, cumin seeds, and sesame seeds. Mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave it for a few seconds until fully melted.

Step 4

Slowly incorporate the melted butter into the flour mixture, mixing well to form a crumbly dough.

Step 5

Add warm water gradually into the mixture, little by little, and knead to form a smooth, soft dough that holds together.

Step 6

Transfer the dough into a murukku or cookie press fitted with the desired shape disc.

Step 7

Heat coconut or avocado oil in a deep frying pan on medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (180°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping in a small piece of dough; it should rise to the surface quickly.

Step 8

Press the dough directly into the hot oil, forming spirals or any preferred shape. Do not overcrowd the pan.

Step 9

Fry the murukku in batches for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, ensuring to flip midway for even cooking.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the murukku using a slotted spoon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 11

Allow the murukku to cool completely. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
