📖 Recipe Card
Sago Murukku | Javvarisi Murukku
Ingredients
- 1 cup rice flour
- 1/3 cup sago
- 1/4 cup curd
- 3/4 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- a tiny pinch hing
- salt to taste
- oil to deep fry
Instructions
- Measure and soak sago in curd at least for 6 hrs. I soaked it overnight. Morning when you see the sago pearls will be soft.
- Now in a mixing bowl - add rice flour, red chilli powder, sago, jeera, butter, hing.
- Mix it well with your hands, then add water little by little. Gather together to form a non sticky dough.
- Shape it into a log and keep it ready.
- Fix your thenkuzhal murukku mould and fill the murukku press with the dough.
- Now, in parallel heat oil. When oil is hot, drop a pinch of batter to check it comes up immediately, then oil is at the correct temperature. Squeeze in a spreaded manner, do not crowd.
- Fry till golden and until shh sound ceases. It will stick together just break it while frying. You can break it after frying.
- Drain in tissue paper. Once it cools down, break it and set aside.
- Serve Sago Murukku with tea!
Notes
- Do not overcook, it should golden.
- As sago is more in this recipe, I recommend to make it as uthiri murukku as I don't think we can make circles with this recipe.
- Soaking for more hours is required else sago may pop out so be at a safer distance while frying.
- When you squeeze the dough will stick to each other, when it becomes crispy try to break with the ladle else after frying you can break it.
- 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 dough is too dry sprinkle little water.
