Notes
- Grinding Onion – I grind onion and red chillies together to a paste with little water. Grinding them together helps flavour blend nicely.
- Mixing Dough – Add all dry ingredients first, then add onion chilli paste and mix well. Only after that add water little by little.
- Getting Dough Right – Dough should be smooth enough to press through murukku maker but not too loose. This takes little practice to get right.
- Oil for Mould – I make sure to grease murukku maker properly with oil. This help sdough slide out easy when you press.
- Check Oil Heat – When you press murukku into oil, it should sizzle immediately. If oil not hot enough, murukku absorb oil and become heavy.
- Cook Both Sides – Press in hot oil for few seconds, then flip and cook till golden brown on other side. Don't leave one side too long or it burn.
- Spiciness – Adjust amount of red chillies based on your spice preference.
