Murukku Recipe -- How to make Murukku

Hi, Thank you, friends and viewers. Today I will post how to make Murukku Recipe

Murukku or Janthikalu as we call it are made with different varieties of flours. We can use store bought flours or we can get them done on our own. It is an Andhra traditional savory tea time snack. To make them we need to have a murukku maker or murukku press. We can get them online. We get them in brass, stainless steel, aluminum and also in the iron material. It has two cylinders. One hollow and one solid cylinder. The solid cylinder can slide smoothly into the hollow cylinder. Both have two handles or spiral handle and also gun shoot type. I prefer rotating spiral handle one and gun shoot type. Both of them are easy to handle.
To make this murukku I get the flour done in a flour mill, which are easily available in India. Take 1 kg of rice, 1/2 kg of roasted bengal gram and 1/4 kg of sabudana or sago, mix all of them well and will give it to the flour mill. This flour can be stored for 6 months. It won't get spoiled. We use required amount of flour and keep the remaining flour in an air tight container. Need not refrigerate.

Murukku -- Best served with a hot cup of tea.

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Rice Flour
• 1/2 Cup Roasted Bengal Gram Flour
• 1/4 Cup Sabudana Flour
• Salt to Taste
• 1 Teaspoon Red Chilli Powder
• 1 Teaspoon Ajwain
• 1 Teaspoon Sesame Seeds
• 1/2 Tablespoon Butter/Hot Oil
• Water as required
• Oil for deep frying

Procedure:

1. Either get the murukku flour done in the flour mill or make the flours at home.
2. I feel it is better to get it done when we have the opportunity.
3. Take flour according to our need, add salt, red chilli powder, ajwain, and sesame seeds.
4. Give a nice mix and add melted butter or hot piping oil to it.
5. Mix them well, take care not to burn fingers, if adding hot oil.
6. Add water little by little and make a smooth dough of it.
7. Meanwhile, heat oil in a thich bottomed wok or kadai.
8. Apply oil inside the maker. Take small portion of murukku dough, place it in the maker.
9. Gently place the top spindle over it and press the murukku on to a paper.
10. If you are confident enough like me, you can press them directly into the hot oil.
11. Fry them in medium flame, till they turn golden color. Or till they float on top of oil and shhh sound stops.
12. Take them off from oil and place on a kitchen tissue or on a news paper, so the excess oil absorbs by it.
13. Once cooled store them in an air tight container.
14. Serve murukku with a hot cup of tea.
