KAI MURUKKU:-



Ingredients:

Raw rice(I used sona masoori) 1 cup
Urad dal flour 4 –5 tblsp
Ghee 5 tblsp
Sesame seeds 2 tsp
Asafoetida 1/4 tsp
Salt & water as needed
Oil For deep frying

Procedure:

1. Soak the rice for at least 2 hours and drain the water,spread it in a clean cloth or news paper to absorb the excess water.
2. Grind it to a fine powder in a mixer.
3. Sieve the flour(you can add the remaining coarse rice to the next batch grinding).
4. Fry the urad dal flour until nice aroma wafts.( You can fry the urad dal and powder,sieve it too. I used ready made store bought urad dal flour).
5. Mix rice flour,urad flour,sesame seeds, ghee, asafoetida and salt well.
6. Add water and make it to a smooth pliable dough. The dough should not have any cracks. Also take care not to add more water. So be careful when you add water. Add slowly and little by little.
7. Take small ball and make twists/murukkus in a news paper. Refer the video how I made. Its bit tricky,but sure you can learn. Make all the dough to
murukkus.
8. Heat enough oil in kadai and drop 3-4 at a time. Use dosa flipper (dosa thiruppi)for taking the murukku from the paper.
9. Cook in medium flame. Flip the murukku after it floats on top.
10. Store in airt tight container after cooled down. The flavour is in its best when eaten from the next day.

Notes:-
-------
* For one cup rice I got approximately 2 cups of flour.
Frying urad adds flavour to the murukku.
* I used black sesame,you can also use white. You can replace ghee with butter.
* If your dough breaks while making murukku,just sprinkle little water to make it pliable.
