    Puzhungal Arisi Murukku RecipePuzhungal Arisi Murukku is an age old traditional method of making murukku.I always wanted to try this method of making murukku using wet batter but didn’t have any proper recipe.Then last week when I was casually saying this to my maid,she got me this recipe from her sister and I tried it the very next day itself.I never thought grinding method gives such crispy and light murukkus,we all loved it so much.It had a great flavour too.I grinded the batter when I soaked for idli dosa batter so it was easy for me to wash the grinder too 🙂

    I am so in love with my pithalai murukku press that I got last year and am putting it to good use.The screw type press is very easy to use and requires no major pressure as in other murukku press I have.

    AuthorSharmilee J

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup parboiled rice / puzhungal arisi
    • 1/2 cup roasted gram dal
    • 1 tablespoon butter at room temperature
    • 2 nos red chillies
    • 1.2 teaspoon cumin seeds
    • 1/2 teaspoon ajwain
    • salt to taste
    • oil to deep fry

    Instructions

    • Measure 1 cup parboiled rice, rinse it well drain water, then soak it in water till immersing level for at least 2 hrs.
    • Grind the soaked rice in wet grinder along with 2 red chillies.
    • Add very little water as possible and grind at least for 30mins to get a smooth thick batter.
    • Take fried gram dal in a mixer jar and grind it to a fine powder. Sieve it in a fine siever. Discard the coarse particles.
    • In a wide mixing bowl - add rice batter along with butter, salt, jeera, ajwain and fried gram dal powder.
    • Mix well to form a smooth non sticky dough, mine was too dry so sprinkled little water to get a smooth dough consistency.
    • Take a portion, grease the murukku press and fit the murukku mold (I used the thenkuzhal mould). Fill the dough till 3/4th of the murukku press.
    • Start pressing. I usually press in 2 ladles and flip it in oil. Heat oil , check by adding a pinch of dough if it raises immediately with a shh sound then the oil is ready.
    • Now carefully flip over the prepared murukkus and deep fry till golden.
    • Fry in batches. Repeat the process until the entire dough finishes. Drain in tissue paper and store it.
    • Serve Arisi Murukku with tea.

    Notes

    • Do not overcook, it should golden brown.
    • Regulate flame and cook, do not cook in high flame.
    • I used my thenkuzhal press to get this shape.
    • If you are making in larger quantity keep the dough closed to avoid from drying.
    • If the lines break then butter is more so add a little more rice flour mix then press.
    • If you have grinded the batter little loose add 1-2 tablespoon rice flour along with fried gram dal powder to get the desired dough consistency.
    • If the dough is too dry sprinkle little water.
