Servings15 pieces
Ingredients
- ½ cup rice flour
- ¼ cup rava or sooji
- ½ teaspoon butter
- ½ teaspoon red chilli powder
- ½ teaspoon black sesame seeds
- salt to taste
- oil to deep fry
- water as required
Instructions
- Grind rava to a fine mixture, Set aside.
- Boil water and when it starts to boil keep in low flame and add rava.
- When rava is fully cooked, switch it off. Make sure there are no lumps, cool down completely.
- In a mixing bowl add rice flour, cooked rava, red chilli powder, butter, sesame seeds and required salt.
- Add water little by little to form a smooth non sticky dough. I chose star press mold.
- Fill your murukku press with the dough and start pressing into small murukkus. I pressed it in a ladle and flipped it in oil. You can even press it directly into oil.
- Deep fry till golden browned. Drain in tissue paper.
- Repeat the process until the entire dough finishes. Drain in tissue paper.
- Cool down and then store Rava Murukku in an airtight container.
Notes
- Grinding – Grind the rava into a fine powder before using it in the dough. This helps to avoid breakage while pressing and gives a smooth finish to the murukku.
- Water – Add water little by little while kneading the dough. Adjust the amount, as it may vary depending on how dry or moist your rava is. The dough should be soft, smooth, and not sticky.
- Frying – Fry the murukku in medium hot oil. If the oil is too hot, the outside will brown too quickly and the inside stays undercooked. Frying at the right temperature ensures a crisp and evenly cooked murukku.
- Molding – Use a star-shaped murukku press for a traditional look. If you don’t have one, a round nozzle or even shaping by hand will work. Just make sure the dough is soft enough to press easily.
- Oil temperature – To test if the oil is at the right temperature, drop a small piece of dough into the oil. If it rises to the surface immediately without browning too quickly, then the oil is ready for frying.
