Crispy Indian Murukku

Ingredients:

2 cups rice flour

1/4 cup roasted gram flour (besan/chickpea flour)

1 tbsp black or white sesame seeds

1/2 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)

1 tsp red chili powder (optional)

1/4 tsp asafoetida (hing)

2 tbsp hot oil or melted butter

Salt to taste

Water for kneading

Oil for deep frying

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine rice flour, roasted gram flour, sesame seeds, carom seeds, red chili powder, asafoetida, and salt. Mix well.

Add Fat and Water: Add the hot oil or melted butter to the flour mixture and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add water, kneading until you have a smooth, non-sticky dough.

Shape the Murukku: Take a portion of the dough and place it into a murukku press (or a piping bag with a star tip). Press out spirals directly onto a greased tray or parchment paper. Make them about 2-3 inches in diameter. You can also press them directly into the hot oil.

Fry: Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully slide the shaped murukku into the oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.

Cook: Fry until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally. The sizzling sound will reduce when they are cooked through.

Drain & Cool: Remove the murukku with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
