Ingredients
- 2 cups Rice flour
- 0.5 cup Urad dal flour
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
- 0.5 teaspoon Asafoetida
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
- 1 cup Water
- 0 as needed Oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, urad dal flour, sesame seeds, carom seeds, asafoetida, and chili powder.
Step 2
Melt the unsalted butter and add it to the dry mixture. Mix well until crumbly.
Step 3
Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring continuously, until it forms a soft, non-sticky dough.
Step 4
Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a thin rope, roughly 5-6 inches long.
Step 5
Connect the ends of each rope to form a ring, pressing gently to seal.
Step 6
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. The oil is ready when a small piece of dough dropped into the oil rises to the surface fairly quickly.
Step 7
Carefully drop a few dough rings into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 8
Fry the murukku rings on medium heat until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally for even cooking.
Step 9
Remove the fried rings using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 10
Allow the murukku to cool completely. Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
