Garlic Murukku Recipe | Poondu Murukku Recipe
Garlic Murukku is a flavourful savoury snack made by adding crushed garlic in the regular making of murukku. It has strong garlic flavour with mild spice and crunchy texture. This murukku is little bit different from usual one because garlic gives great taste and nice aroma while frying. It also cooks fast and easy to make once dough is ready.
Servings20 murukkus
Ingredients
- 1 and ¼ cup homemade rice flour / idiyappam flour
- ¼ cup besan flour
- 5 big garlic pearls
- 1 no red chilli
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds
- salt to taste
- oil to deep fry
- water as needed
Instructions
- Soak garlic and red chillies in little hot water for 15mins.
- Then transfer to mixer jar and grind it to a smooth paste. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add rice flour, then add besan flour, garlic paste, butter and salt.
- Add sesame seeds. Mix well.
- Now add water little by little to form a smooth non sticky dough.
- I used star mould. Grease the murukku mould with oil, fill the dough till ¾th of the mould. Start pressing in a ladle. You can keep 2 ladles and press.
- Heat oil , flip the ladle so that the murukku falls into the preheated oil. Deep fry till golden brown or until the shh sound stops. Drain in tissue paper. Likewise repeat to finish the dough.
- Enjoy Garlic Murukku!
Notes
- Garlic paste – I soak garlic and chilli in warm water before grinding. This helps to grind smooth paste easily.
- Dough texture – I knead the dough to be soft and smooth but not sticky. If too tight, murukku may turn hard and also hard to press.
- Pressing murukku – I grease mould lightly with oil so dough presses easily. You can also press on ladle before frying.
- Oil heat – I keep the oil in medium hot before dropping murukku. Too hot oil will brown outside fast.
- Fry well – I fry until bubbling sound in oil reduces. This means murukku is cooked and become crisp.
