Instructions

  • Mix rice flour, urad dal flour, melted butter, oil, asafoetida, cumin seeds, and salt in a bowl.
  • Add water little by little to form a non-sticky dough with no cracks.
  • Heat enough oil in a kadai for deep frying.
  • Fill a murukku press with the dough using the plate with holes suitable for murukku.
  • Grease a ladle, form the murukku shape on it, and gently invert it into the hot oil.
  • Deep fry on medium flame until the sizzling sound stops and the murukku turns golden.
  • Drain on a paper towel and let it cool completely before storing in airtight containers.

Notes

  1. Keep the dough covered to prevent drying.
  1. Make in batches to maintain the texture.
  1. Ensure the rice and urad dal flours are finely ground to avoid breakage.
  1. Adding more urad dal flour can alter the color and texture.
  1. Fry in enough oil to prevent uneven browning.
  1. Top up with more oil after a few batches, as it gets absorbed.
