Easy Potato Murukku Recipe

Potato Murukku is one of easy instant murukku recipes that I tried recently.I love instant murukku recipes which I made with readymade idiyappam flour as its easy and quick to make.You don’t need homemade rice flour so no waiting for soaking and grinding like for thenkuzhal and other murukku recipes, so thats really good news isnt it?! Try this murukku with potato flavour , am sure you will love it.I gave this murukku to mittus friend , she just loveeed it and after that whenever she was here, she started asking ‘aunty murukku’ 🙂 Joy of trying new recipes…yayyy!! 🙂

Easy Potato Murukku Recipe

My Notes:

  • You can either use homemade rice flour or readymade idiyappam flour.You dont need to roast the idiyappam flour for this murukku.I used Nirapara brand idiyappam flour.You can even use homemade rice flour if you have it ready.
  • If you are comfortable and can handle the heat, you can press the murukku directly in oil.
  • You can even add 2-3 murukkus at a time while frying.My kadai was small and I pressed a little medium sized murukku so I added one/ two at a time.
  • .You can replace jeera with sesame seeds.
  • Cook in low medium flame and regulate heat as and when it goes high / low.
  • If you prefer spicy murukku then use 1/2 tsp red chilli powder.Or grind 3 pearls garlic with 2 red chillies for flavoured murukku.
  • Adding more butter will make the murukku crumble and you will not get continuous swirls while pressing it will break in between.When you press and if its too tight to press then your dough is very tight in consistency so drizzle little water and knead to get the desired consistency. And when you press if you dont get a long continuous line and if it tends to break then butter is more so dont panic – just little rice flour, water and knead it again.

    I can’t see the full recipe on my phone. It needs a desktop. I can’t see the rice flour measurement.
