Cooking Time: 30 min
Serves: 50 - 60 pieces
Ingredients:
- Boiled Ponni Rice - 4 cup
- Urad dhal - 1 cup
- Butter - 3 tbsp
- Jeera - 3 tsp
- Sesame - 3 tsp
- Chili powder - to taste
- Salt to taste
Preparation:
* Soak boiled ponni rice for 2 hrs
Procedure:
1. Clean the soaked rice and
dry them on a clean cotton cloth for 10 min. Then grind them in batches using a
mixer.
2.
Sieve the powdered rice. Grind the coarse left over rice again and sieve them
again. Repeat until a fine rice flour is obtained. Slightly roast them to remove
moisture. If it forms lumps because of moisture, sieve it again to get a very
fine dry rice flour.
3.
Then heat a pan and dry roast urad dhal as it starts turning golden brown.
Allow it to cool down and grind it to a fine powder. Sieve them to get a fine
urad dhal flour.
4.
In a large mixing bowl mix rice flour, urad dhal flour and rest of the
ingredients. Mix them well. Add water and make it into a smooth dough. Using a
murukku press, roll the dough into murukku. I used star shape press.
5.
Heat oil in a kadai. Fry the murukku. As the sound of murukku ceases, it is the
perfect time to take out the murukku. Place it on a tissue to remove
excess oil.
Crispy
muruku is ready for the snack..!!!
