Ingredients
- 1 kg raw rice
- ¼ kg urad dal
Instructions
- Take 1 kg (5 cups raw rice), rinse it well at least 2-3 times until water is clear.
- Drain water and transfer to a sieve and let it rest for few minutes.
- Now transfer the rice to a cloth and spread it to a single layer.
- I usually keep it near the window where sunlight comes. You can dry in shade or indoors also but it takes time to dry.
- I dried for 10 hours. It should be completely dry, no moisture should be there at all. Once dried, transfer to a container.
- To a pan add ¼ kg(around 1 ¼ cups) whole urad dal without skin.
- Roast until golden.
- Transfer to a plate and cool down completely.
- Transfer this to the container.
- Mix it well. I usually take to mill for grinding. If making in small quantity you can grind at home itself.
- Murukku maavu is ready. Once you bring from the mill open and keep as it will be hot. You can even spread it in a plate for it to cool down. Do not let moisture form.
- Transfer to a sieve in batches.
- Sieve it well and discard the remains. Repeat to finish.
- Spread it and cool down then store in a clean dry container.
- Murukku made using homemade murukku flour.

Notes
- Raw rice - Choose maavu pacharisi for best results. But if you cannot source it then use regular raw rice.
- Moisture - There should be no moisture in the rice. Make sure to dry completely.
- Roasting - While roasting urad dal do not roast more just golden is enough. If you roast until golden brown then the murukku color and taste may change.
- Sieving - Sieving is must for bigger batch as we are going to store for a long time.
- Small batch - If you are using cup measures then it is 1 cup raw rice : ¼ cup urad dal. You can grind at home itself if it is for a smaller batch but make sure to sieve it.
