Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, urad dal flour, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, asafoetida, butter, and salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft, non-sticky dough.
- Shape the Murukku: Grease the Murukku press and fill it with dough. Press out the dough into spiral shapes onto small parchment squares.
- Heat the Oil: Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
- Fry the Murukku: Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the shaped Murukku into the oil. Fry until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
- Drain and Cool: Use a slotted spoon to remove the Murukku and drain it on paper towels. Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
- To make your Murukku gluten-free, ensure that the rice and urad dal flour are gluten-free certified.
- You can also add a pinch of chili powder for a spicy version.
