Equipment

• Achu Murukku Mold

Ingredients

• 1 cup maida
• 1/4 cup rice flour
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• salt to taste
• water as needed
• oil for deep frying

Instructions

Getting Mould Ready:

• First we need to treat mould, but this is mainly for iron / aluminium. If its nonstick then you can use it as such. I first washed it well, soaked in rice cooked starch water overnight. Then immersed in heated oil for 5 mins, switched off  and left it in that oil overnight. Now the mould is ready.

Achu Murukku :

• Extract coconut milk , measure and keep aside.
• To a mixing bowl - add maida, rice flour and powdered sugar.
• Add salt and sesame seeds. Mix well. Get ready with coconut milk and the mould.
• Add the coconut milk and mix well. It should form a slightly thin batter. If the batter is thick then add little water. Set aside.
• Now heat oil, dip the mould in it till its heated at least for 15 seconds. Then immediately dip the mould in the batter so that 3/4th of mould is immersed in the batter. The batter will stick to the mould.
• Now carefully dip the mould in preheated oil. Leave for few seconds. Make sure to dip the mould in preheated oil each time before dipping in the batter.
• Then shake the mould for the murukku to release from mould. If it doesn't come out use a fork to pull it out. Fry till golden. Repeat until you finish the entire batter.
• Turn over and cook till golden on both the sides. Remove, drain in tissue paper. Cool down then store Achu Murukku.

Notes

• If the batter does not stick to the mould either the mould is not hot or the batter is too runny.
• The batter should not be too runny or too thick.If its too thick,
  the murukku will become hard.If its too runny then the batter wil not stick to the mould.
• Make sure you immerse the mould only till 3/4th
For me first 2 murukkus didnt release easily I had to use fork but after that it came out very easily after few shakes
• The original recipe called for 1/2 cup powdered sugar but I used only 1/4 cup as we wanted only mild sweetness
