Servings20 Murukku
Ingredients
- 1 cup wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
- 1/2 teaspoon white sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon butter at room temperature
- 1/8 teaspoon hing
- salt to taste
- oil to deep fry
- water as required
Instructions
- Measure wheat flour and transfer the flour to a clean white cloth. Bring the ends and tie a knot so that no moisture goes inside.
- Steam cook for atleast 20mins. I used my idli steamer with water underneath, and placed the bag on my idiyappam plate as shown. Keep covered with a lid and steam cook.
- After 20mins, let it cool down a bit. Once its warm enough to handle open the bag. Break the lumps with a spoon.
- Now sieve it, discard the coarse mixture.
- Now take the flour in a mixing bowl along with red chilli powder, butter, hing, sesame seeds and required salt. Mix it well with your hands first.
- Now add water little by little to form a smooth nonsticky dough as shown.You can see how clean it has come together as its nonsticky.
- Take your murukku press and grease it well. I used my star press mould.
- Fill your murukku press with the dough and start pressing into murukkus. I pressed it in 2 laddles and flipped it in oil. You can even press it directly into oil.
- Deep fry till golden browned. Drain in tissue paper.
- Repeat the process until the entire dough finishes.
- Cool down & then store Wheat Flour Murukku in an airtight container.
Notes
- You can use any press of your choice.
- I used homemade wheat flour.You can use store bought flour too.
- The dough should be non sticky, the texture of flour should be same like rice flour after steaming.
- 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 is small so I pressed small sized murukku so I added one/ two at a time.
- You can replace sesame seeds with jeera. You can use black sesame seeds too.
- Cook in low medium flame and regulate heat as and when it goes high / low.
