Ragi Murukku
Ragi Murukku is a diet version of the regular murukku made by frying ragi flour dough passed through a press. Ragi Murukku is healthy & is preferred for celebration without adding too much of calories.
Servings10 small murukku
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup ragi flour
- 1/4 cup rice flour
- 1/8 cup besan flour
- 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
- 1/2 teaspoon white sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon butter at room temperature
- water as required
- salt to taste
- oil to deep fry
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, take ragi flour, rice flour and besan flour along with red chilli powder, sesame seeds, butter and required salt.
- Mix it well with your hands now add water little by little. Bring together to form a stiff dough.
- Grease the murukku press and use the star press. Now fill the murukku press with dough.
- And start pressing it in ladles so that its easy to flip over in hot oil.
- Heat oil and flip over the murukku from the ladle and deep fry on both sides.
- Once the shh sound ceases remove them and drain in tissue paper. I also made some uthiri murukku with the last leftover dough.
- Drain in tissue and store in airtight container.
- Serve Ragi Murukku with tea.
Notes
- This murukku is tough to find when its done due to its color. So its advisable to remove from oil when the shh sound ceases.
- You can replace besan flour with fried gram dal flour (pottukadalai maavu).
It keeps well at least for 3 weeks in room temperature. - You can replace sesame seeds with cumin seeds too.
- If the dough becomes too watery adjust by dusting little rice flour if its too tight sprinkle little water and mix to get the perfect dough.
- I used my murukku press mold.
- You can replace oil with butter too.
- Cooking soda is added to give a slightly soft texture.
- You can either make swirl murukku or uthiri murukku as per your preference.
