Ingredients

  • ½ cup Urad flour
  • 2 cups Rice flour
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Red Chili powder (adjust as per taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 2 tablespoons Melted Ghee or Butter or Hot oil
  • To taste Salt

Instructions

  • In a medium size mixing bowl, combine urad flour, rice flour, sesame seeds, red chili powder, ground cumin and salt. Whisk well.
  • Add the melted ghee and just enough water to make a pliable dough. It should not be too dry or too wet.
  • Heat enough oil in a heavy bottom pan for deep frying on medium~medium-high heat. Lightly spray and get the murukku mold ready.
  • When the oil is hot enough, take some dough and place in the mold. Press it directly into the hot oil while swirling around to create a round shape. Check out the video for details.
  • Fry for 2~3 minutes until the murukku is golden brown on one side. Gently flip and fry for another 2~3 minutes on the second side.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with the remaining dough. Completely cool the murukku and store in an airtight container for up to 10 days.

Notes

  • To make urad dal flour at home, dry roast urad dal (minapappu) on medium heat until aromatic and is lightly golden. This will take about 8~10 minutes. Cool completely. Grind in a spice grinder or a high power blender or food processor until very fine. This can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
  • To test the oil, drop a small piece of the dough and if it sizzles and rises up to the surface, then you are good to go.
  • Here are few tips to make sure that your murukku are perfectly crisp:
    • make sure that the dough is not too dry or not too wet.
    • oil should be on medium heat through out.
  • Store these urad dal murukku in an airtight container for up to 10 days. But make sure that the lid fits tightly, otherwise they might turn a little chewy.
