Servings13 Murukku
Equipment
- Achu Murukku Mold
Ingredients
- 1 cup maida
- 1/4 cup rice flour
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- salt to taste
- water as needed
- oil for deep frying
Instructions
Getting Mould Ready:
- First we need to treat mould, but this is mainly for iron / aluminium. If its nonstick then you can use it as such. I first washed it well, soaked in rice cooked starch water overnight. Then immersed in heated oil for 5 mins, switched off and left it in that oil overnight. Now the mould is ready.
Achu Murukku :
- Extract coconut milk , measure and keep aside.
- To a mixing bowl - add maida, rice flour and powdered sugar.
- Add salt and sesame seeds. Mix well. Get ready with coconut milk and the mould.
- Add the coconut milk and mix well. It should form a slightly thin batter. If the batter is thick then add little water. Set aside.
- Now heat oil, dip the mould in it till its heated at least for 15 seconds. Then immediately dip the mould in the batter so that 3/4th of mould is immersed in the batter. The batter will stick to the mould.
- Now carefully dip the mould in preheated oil. Leave for few seconds. Make sure to dip the mould in preheated oil each time before dipping in the batter.
- Then shake the mould for the murukku to release from mould. If it doesn't come out use a fork to pull it out. Fry till golden. Repeat until you finish the entire batter.
- Turn over and cook till golden on both the sides. Remove, drain in tissue paper. Cool down then store Achu Murukku.
Notes
- If the batter does not stick to the mould either the mould is not hot or the batter is too runny.
- The batter should not be too runny or too thick.If its too thick,
the murukku will become hard.If its too runny then the batter wil not stick to the mould. - Make sure you immerse the mould only till 3/4th For me first 2 murukkus didnt release easily I had to use fork but after that it came out very easily after few shakes
- The original recipe called for 1/2 cup powdered sugar but I used only 1/4 cup as we wanted only mild sweetness
