    Mullu Murukku Recipe

    I have thought that making murukku is one of the hard job I can imagine..I know many of you have that experience. But Amma has simplified this process for you..She make the perfect murukku with no effort. Actually in our first batch of murukku making. she took rice and ground it in a grinder and made into a smooth paste. But in our second batch we took rice flour and mixed it with powdered roasted channa dal flour and made murukku. And I am telling this is more tasty and easier than the first one.

    The one important thing you should remember while doing muruku is the proportions. We used the traditional murukku achu for making this, but I think you can make it in piping bag with star tip or any of your favorite tip.

    Ingredients for Mullu Murukku

    1. Rice flour / Arisi Mavu-5 cup
    2. Roasted Channa Dal / Pori Kaladai / Pottu Kadalai-2 ½ cup powdered
    3. Cumin seeds-2 tblspn
    4. Salt to taste
    5. Heated Oil-3 tblspn

    How to Make Mullu Murukku

    1. In a mixing bowl add rice flour and roasted channa dal flour.
    2. Add in salt and cumin seeds. Mix well together.
    3. Now add in water and make into a soft dough. Pour in some hot oil and mix well together.
    4. Now take your mould and fill this dough in it.
    5. Take a parchment paper or any clean cloth and form murukku shape in that by pressing the mould.
    6. Heat oil for deep frying and carefully drop the murukku in oil and fry till golden.
    7. Drain in a paper towel and let it cool completely. Store this in an air tight container for several weeks.

      Looks great..very crunchy! My mom used to make this and I always thought how it was possible to do without that special gadget...great tip on using a piping bag instead. I would never have thought of that!

      Uffff.... perfectly shaped murukku. Really a nice way of making this first on plastic cover, but how do you lift that. It looks so delicate. But great work dear.

      Hi Aarthi

      Thanks for the recipe. Would like to try this. My usual recipe turns out the murruku a bit harder. Would like to know if rice flour is ok or idiyapam flour ( will make the murukku more crunchier?)

      thanks
      Meera
