Description:
Murukku is a very common snack made of Urad dal and rice flour. Below is my recipe for this snack.
For making the Murukku we require the Murukku mould(same Idiyappam press with different attachment). The mould will be same, but it have different attachments that we get with it. So for making Idiyappam, Murukku etc we use same mould with different attachments. Murukku attachments comes with different number of stars, I use one star attachment.
Ingredients:
1. Rice - 1.5 cup
2. Urad dal(whole/split) - .5 cup
3. Cumin seeds
4. Oil
5. Aluminium foil/ plastic food wrap.
5. Salt to taste
Procedure:
Soak the rice in water for 5-6 hours. After that grind the rice to a thick batter. Avoid using water while grinding, or if water is needed then pour very little. The batter should have a thick consistency. Take a pan and add the urad dal. Dry roast the urad dal nicely. Keep on stiring in between so that the urad dal donn`t get burnt. Once it is done, grind the urdal dal to make it a smooth powder. Now take a bowl and add the thick batter into it, then add the urad dal powder. Knead it properly as we do it for Atta(making chapatis). We don`t have to add extra water for kneading because the rice batter already contains moisture. If its difficult to knead then add little water/Coconut milk to knead. Add salt and cumin seeds also while kneading. The dough should be soft.
Next spread the plastic food wrap on to a surface. Take the murukku press and put a portion of the dough into it. Now press the mould slowly over the plastic food wrap in a circular motion. We can make 4-5 circular layers or even more. In the same way make murukku with the remaining dough and keep it aside. Take a skillet, pour oil into it for deep frying the murukku. Once the oil is hot add the murukku one by one into the skillet and fry it until both sides gets slight golden color. Fry all the murukkus and keep it in an air tight container. Murukku is ready, hope everyone likes this recipe.
