Servings15 murukku
Ingredients
- 1 cup heaped homemade rice flour
- 1/3 cup heaped yellow split moong dal
- 1 teaspoon butter at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon black sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
- salt to taste
- water as needed
Instructions
- Pressure cook yellow moong dal with enough water for at least 4-5 whistles or until soft and mushy.
- Now transfer to the mixer jar, sprinkle little water if its too dry.
- Grind to a smooth paste. It will get thick after sometime. Measure and keep aside.
- In a mixing bowl take rice flour, moong dal paste. Add butter.
- Add sesame seeds, salt and red chilli powder.
- Now mix well with your finger tips, now add water little by little.
- Gather together to form a smooth non-sticky dough, not too tight not too loose. Set aside.
- Grease your murukku press. I used my thenkuzhal murukku press.
- Add the dough to the murukku press till 3/4th of the press.
- Now start pressing, press on a ladle.
- Heat oil in a kadai - carefully flip the murukku from the ladle so that it slides into the preheated oil.
- Deep fry the murukku till golden brown or until the bubbles ceases. Drain in tissue paper and store Moong Dal Murukku!
Notes
- Make sure the moong dal paste is smooth else it will get caught in the murukku press and will block the dough from flowing freely.
- The dough should not be too tight not too loose too.
