Ingredients
- 1 cup rice flour Idiyappam Flour
- 1/2 cup thick aval Poha
- 1/4 cup pottukadalai
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
- 1 tablespoon butter
- salt to taste
- oil to deep fry
Instructions
- Take aval in a mixer jar and powder it and set aside. Take pottukadalai in the mixer.
- Powder it. Now transfer both to a siever and sieve it well. I added rice flour too in the mixing bowl.
- Mix well then add jeera, red chilli powder and salt. Again mix well. Now melt butter, add and mix well.
- Now add water little by little to form a smooth non sticky dough. Take your favourite murukku disc.
- Fill the dough till 3.4th of the murukku press and start pressing. I usually press in 2 ladles and flip it in oil.
- Heat oil , check by adding a pinch of dough if it raises immediately with a shh sound then the oil is ready.
- Now carefully flip over the prepared murukkus and deep fry. Turn over and cook. Fry in batches. Deep fry till golden brown. Drain in tissue paper. Repeat the process until the entire dough finishes. Drain in tissue paper and store it.
- Store Aval Murukku in airtight container and enjoy your teatime!
Notes
- Aval(Poha) when powdered gives very less quantity so take a heaped 1/2 cup measure.
- Don't add more butter than mentioned else the murukkus will break while pressing and you will not get continuous lines.
- I used thick poha but you can use any variety of poha.
- Amma always insists to add hot water for making the dough for easy pressing.I added normal water, as I used my screw murukku press I did not find any issues.
- You can replace melted butter with hot oil too.
- Measure butter in room temperature and then melt it.
- I added very little red chilli powder to make it less spicy, you can alter according to your preference.
- I used my small kadai and fried 2-3 at a time, always fry in batches.
