How to make Kai Murukku Recipe

Vegetarian

Homemade rice flour

Roasted urad dal flour

Butter

Black Sesame Seeds

Asafetida/hing

Take the homemade processed wet rice flour, urad dal flour, sesame seeds, salt and hing. Mix well. Now add soft butter and mix well with the flour. Butter should be well mixed with the flour. Now add warm oil and mix well with the flour. Lastly add water little by little and make a non-sticky dough. (make sure oil is not very hot).

step 1

Take a small lemon sized ball and try to make swirls using your fingers. If u are able to make it, proceed further. If u find the thread getting cut, dough must be dry. So sprinkle little more water in the dough and knead it well. Apply little oil on your hands if the dough is sticky.

step 2

Spread a cotton cloth or butter paper and place a small bottle lid. Keep a small bowl of water & a bowl of oil nearby. Take a small lemon sized ball from the dough.

step 3

Make the swirls/murukku around the lid. While making the swirls, keep your hand a little higher from the lid. The dough will stretch easily if u made it perfect. When u hold ur hand higher in length, u can make the twist easily.

step 4

U can dip ur hands in water whenever needed. It helps u to make twists neatly.

step 5

Use ur first three fingers(ie thumb, fore finger & big finger) and press the dough with ur thumb, make a twist and keep doing it to form a circle shape. It sounds bit difficult but it will come by practice for sure. Keep the remaining dough closed with a wet cloth to prevent drying.

step 6

Make some 10 murukkus & heat oil in a pan for deep frying. Drop a small piece of dough. If it rises immediately, oil temperature is correct. Now remove the murukku using ur hand or dosa flipper and drop in oil carefully. U can slide it in the sides. It will move to the center. Add 3-4 murukku per batch and deep fry.

step 7

Cook till the bubbles and sshhh sound ceases completely. Flip it once in the middle. Remove the murukku, drain in a tissue paper. Allow it to cool & enjoy!.

step 8

For storage, keep a tissue paper in a box and arrange the murukku after it cools down completely. The original flavour of murukku can be felt only by next day. U can store it for months too. It tastes crunchy and yummy.
