Pottukadalai Murukku is a crispy snack made by frying fried gram flour passed through press. Pottukadalai Murukku is an alternate murukku to try at home as evening tea time snack.
Ingredients
1 cup rice flour
1/4 cup fried gram dal
1/2 tbsp butter
1 tsp cumin seeds
salt to taste
oil to deep fry
water as required
Method
- In a dry mixer grind fried gram to a fine powder. Now combine rice flour and roasted gram flour and sieve it.
- In a mixing bowl take the sieved flours , butter, jeera and salt and mix well with your hands first.Boil water when it starts to boil switch off.
- Add water little by little and mix it with a spatula. Once it is combined well use your hands to gather to form a soft dough.
- Take your murukku mould and fit in the star shaped disc. Grease the murukku press with little oil and fill it up with the dough. Now slowly press directly into oil or on a laddle like I did.
- Heat oil - drop a small pinch of dough to check if the oil temperature is right... when the dough immediately raises to the top with a sizzle then your oil is ready.
- Flip the laddle to transfer the murukku into the oil and fry till golden brown. Drain in a tissue paper.
- Cool down and store Pottukadalai Murukku in an airtight container.
