Ingredients

- ½ cup rice flour
- ¾ tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon hot oil

- water as needed
- oil to deep fry
Instructions
- Measure both the flours and add it to sieve. Sieve well.
- Mix it with a spoon then add butter, salt, sesame seeds.

Notes
- Sieve Flour Well – I sieve both the flour together to remove lumps and make them light. Sieving helps flour incorporate better with other ingredient.
- Rub Butter – I add hot oil and rub well so butter spread evenly in the flour. Even distribution of butter is for uniform taste.
- Dough Consistency – I mix well and gather to form smooth non sticky dough. If the dough is too crumbly then sprinkle little more water, if too loose then add flour.
- Right Oil Temperature – I heat oil in the kadai until hot but not smoking. Oil temperature is important because if too hot murukku burn and if too cool it become oily.
- Gentle Press – I start pressing the dough in ladle gently into preheated oil, it fall into oil on its own. You can keep 2 ladles and press so you alternate while frying.
- Fry Till Golden – I deep fry till golden brown or until the sizzle sound stop.
