A traditional evening snack.  But can be eaten at all times when you are hungry. Will be crisy even for a month so it could be prepared in batches and stored for use. Prepared for all important festivals. I am sure that, no one hate murukku.



INGREDIENTS
Rice flour- 2 cups
Urad dhal - ½ cup
Butter- 3-4 teaspoons
Asafetida- pinch
Sesame seeds- 1 teaspoon
Cumin seeds- 1 teaspoon
Salt- to taste
Oil- to fry




PROCEDURE
  • Dry roast urad dhal till golden colour, powder well and sieve to get fine powder
  • Mix all ingredients together and water and knead well to make dough. Knead well, otherwise  when you press the murukku dough, the threads tends to break.

  • Heat some oil and deep fry murukku till golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain excess oil by keeping tissue paper lined plates.
