Pottukadalai Murukku Recipe

Pottukadalai Murukku Recipe was suggested by my friend.Pottukadalai Murukku is a easy instant murukku recipe that I tried recently.I eyed this pottukadalai murukku/ Split Roasted Gram Dal/ Chutey Dal Murukku recipe last year itself but couldn’t try due to lack of time….So this year when I set out to make a list of diwali recipes to post I added this murukku to the top of the list.You dont need to wait to soak then dry it and grind to make the flour ready as for thenkuzhal and other murukku recipes, so thats really good news isnt it?!

Check other muruku recipes here :
1.Thenkuzhal murukku
2.Butter Murukku
3.Maida Mullu Murukku

Instant Murukku Recipe

I loved the texture roasted gram flour adds to the murukku. Believe me, there is no lengthy procedure you can make this murukku in few mins time.Instant murukku, easy to make, crispy to munch on…what else do you need?! Now lets get on to learn how to make pottukadalai murukku….

Instant Murukku Recipe

Pottukadalai Murukku Recipe – Ingredients

Pottukadalai Murukku Recipe
Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 25 mins | Makes : 15 small murukku
Recipe Category: Snack | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian

Rice Flour  – 1 cup
Split Roasted Gram- 1/4 cup minus 1 tbsp
Butter – 1/2 tbsp
Jeera – 1 tsp
Salt – to taste
Oil – to deep fry
Water – as required

Method:

    1. In a dry mixer grind fried gram to a fine powder. Now combine rice flour and roasted gram flour and sieve it.

    2. In a mixing bowl take the sieved flours , butter, jeera and salt and mix well with your hands first.Boil water when it starts to boil switch off.

    3. Add water little by little and mix it with a spatula. Once it is combined well use your hands  to gather to form a soft dough.
      How to make pottukadalai murukku - Step3
    4. Take your murukku mould and fit in the star shaped disc.I used my single star shaped disc, you can use multi star press too.Grease the murukku press with little oil and fill it up with the  dough.Now slowly press directly into oil or on a laddle like I did.

      Check out a small video showing how to press murukku

  1. Heat oil – drop a small pinch of dough to check if the oil temperature is right…when the dough immediately raises to the top with a sizzle then your oil is ready.Flip the laddle to transfer the murukku into the oil and fry till golden brown.Drain in a tissue paper.

Cool down in an store in an airtight container.

Pottukadalai Murukku

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 Nirampara brand idiyappam flour.
  • Sieving both the flours is optional but I recommend doing it as it ensure even mixing.
  • You can replace jeera with sesame seeds.
  • 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.
  • You can even use thenkuzhal press for this murukku.You can make concentric circles or make irregular shapes like how I did. I made concentric circles for mullu murukku so wanted to try like this for puttukadali murukku just to show variation in the pics 🙂
  • Adding more butter will make the murukku crumble and you will not get continuosu 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.

      August 21, 2014 at 1:58 pm

      I think if its undercooked then it will have a soft inside….or if you have cooked it in little high flame the outside gets cooked and will turn crispy while the inside remains soft

      This sounds new to me….if the oil temperature is hot and if its fried well the murukku will come out crispy…first try potting a small pinch of the dough if it rises immediately then it is ready, then fry till the shh sound ceases…am sure these tips should work

    I tried it…But it was difficult to press and dough was very thick…I roasted the flour and also added ghee instead of butter…is it because of that???
    What can we add to make the dough soft???

    • SHARMILEE J says

      October 15, 2014 at 3:06 pm

      No ghee doesnt affect the texture, I guess water was not enough for the batter…the batter should not very thick..it should be soft and pliable

    Hi, i will be trying this soon. My question is regarding this recipe as well as ribbon pakoda made with besan flour. It comes out little more on the brown side for me than golden. I like to get it golden like in the sweet shops. If i remove it early from oil its not very crispy. What am i doing wrong ? Can you suggest some ideas ?
