    Cashew Murukku is the one of best murukku recipes that I tried this year. Ever since I saw this cashew murukku recipe in Nithis space, I’ve been wanting to try and glad that I tried this year atleast

    This murukku is quite addictive and has a melt in the mouth texture with the flavour from cashews that anyone will easily fall for it. Even Mittu who is not fond of eating cashews as such loved this murukku.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup rice flour
    • 20 nos whole cashews
    • 1 tbsp ghee
    • salt to taste
    • oil to deep fry

    Instructions

    • Measure cashews and soak it in hot water for at least 15mins.
    • Transfer to mixer with the water and grind it to a fine paste.
    • In a mixing bowl take rice flour, add cashew paste, ghee and required salt. Mix well with your hands.
    • Now add water little by little. Gather together to form a smooth non sticky dough.
    • Grease the murukku press and use the murukku press(I used the thenkuzhal mould). Now fill the murukku press with dough.
    • Heat oil - and press in concentric circles directly in oil. Do not overcrowd.
    • Turn and cook till slightly golden. Once the shh sound ceases remove them and drain in tissue paper.
    • Break it roughly or you can keep them as whole murukku too.
    • Serve Cashew Murukku with tea.

    Notes

    • Regulate flame and cook, do not cook in high flame.
    • I used store bought Idiyappam Flour. You can use homemade rice flour too.
    • You can add 1/4 tsp sesame / jeera for extra flavor.
    • You can add 1/4 tsp chilli powder if you prefer.
    • I used my kutti kadai for frying as I made very small quantity.
    • Measure ghee in room temperature, no need to melt it.
    • If you are making in larger quantity keep the dough closed to avoid from drying.
    • If the dough becomes too watery adjust by dusting little rice flour if its too tight sprinkle little water and mix to get the perfect dough.
    • I used my thenkuzhal murukku press mould. You can even use star press if you like.
    • You can either make swirl murukku or uthiri murukku as per your preference.

        Pinch a small portion from the dough and add it to hot oil, if it rises up immediately then oil is hot and perfect for frying

      I tried making cashew murukku and it disintegrated the moment I dropped it in oil for frying. Can you pls help me fix my mistake so that I can try making it for diwali this time?

        If ghee is more murukku may disintegrate else if the dough is loose also it may split up while frying.
