Servings15 murukku
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.
