 Cook Time : 20 mins 
 Yields: 10 murukkus
 Recipe Category: Snacks-Murukku
 Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
 Author:Padhu Sankar

   Ingredients needed

   Homemade Rice Flour -1 cup
   Urad Dal Flour – 1/4 cup
   Black or white sesame seeds – 1 tsp
   Butter – 1 1/2 tsp
   Salt as needed
   Hing – a pinch
   Thick coconut milk – 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp
   Murukku maker
   Oil for deep frying

Preparation


Dry roast urad dal slightly (do not brown it) and leave it to cool. Powder it finely and sieve it. Now the urad dal flour is ready.

Prepare rice flour as given in the link below

Homemade rice flour

Extract coconut milk or use readymade coconut milk. Extracting coconut milk at home is very easy. Check the link below to know

How to extract coconut milk

Keep all the ingredients ready.

Method 


First mix together rice flour, urad dal flour, sesame seeds and butter well with your finger tips.

murukku preparation

Add coconut milk little at a time and make a soft and smooth dough. The quantity of coconut milk may vary according to the quality of rice flour. I added approximately 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp of coconut milk. So add coconut milk little at a time. 

Heat oil in a kadai. When the oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium. To check if the oil is hot, drop a piece of dough into the oil, if it raises to the surface immediately, the oil is hot enough to fry the murukkus.

Making Murukkus

Take a small portion of dough and put it inside the murukku maker (picture below). I used the 3 hole disc to make this murukku. Press it in a circular motion to make murukku as seen in the main picture. You can grease 2 or 3 ladles or a small plate, squeeze murukku on it and then gently drop it into the hot oil. Alternatively you can directly squeeze the murruku into the hot oil, which ever is comfortable for you.

You will hear a sizzling/bubbling sound when the murukku is getting cooked.

Once it is cooked the sizzling sound stops and you see the oil clear as in the picture below.

Fry the murukku both sides until very light golden color. Thengai murukku should be pale white in color and not brown.

Coconut Milk Murukku Recipe

Once cooked remove from the oil with a slotted ladle and place it in a colander or paper towel to drain excess oil.

Repeat the same process for the rest of the dough.

Storage and Shelf life – Once it cools, store it in an air tight container at room temperature. Stays good for a week.

      You can use ready made rice flour. But homemade rice flour is best for making murukkus.

      Either more butter or more water could be the reasons for breaking. Regarding bitterness, I have no idea as there is nothing in the ingredients list to make the murukku bitter. Chances are you might have over fried it.
