MURUKKU

MURUKKU

Ingredients:

• 1/2 kilo Maida
• 1/4 kilo Oil 
• Asafetida 
• 1 tbsp Salt 
• Hot water(hand bearable)

Method:

1.Steam cook maida for 15 mins (I laid a white cloth inside the container then added the flour). After 10mins - When you take it, it will have lumps formed . Cool down and break the lumps formed and  spread it in a plate and leave it to cool down until it is dry.

2.Then sieve it and collect it in a container, now the flour for murukku is ready.In a mixing bowl, add maida, required salt and mix it once. Then add hot water and combine.

3.Combine  to form a smooth dough. Then divide them equal portions and set aside. I used the star shaped press for the murukku.

4.Grease the murukku press(it is like cookie press) and add the dough till it fills 1/2 to 3/4th of the murukku press. Then press it circular to form a pattern.

5.Form a round pattern . Heat oil in a kadai (as required for the murukku to immerse fully) - carefully flip the laddle and drop the murukku in oil.Cook the murukku on both sides till the 'shh' sounds ceases and they turn golden brown in color(Fry it in medium low flame.).Drain in tissue paper and then store in an airtight container.
