Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 20 nos whole cashews
  • 1 tablespoon 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 teaspoon sesame / jeera for extra flavor.
  • You can add 1/4 teaspoon 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.
