• Form a smooth non sticky dough without any cracks. Take your seepu murukku press. Now fill the murukku press with little dough.
• Now start pressing them into long tapes then cut them into small strips (around 10 cm) on a big board or your kitchen counter. I used my wooden board.
• Join the ends of the strips around your forefinger to make cylinders. Gently remove it and place it. Repeat the same till the entire dough gets over.
• Heat oil, to check if the oil is hot just add a pinch of the dough. If it raises immediately then oil is ready.
• Now carefully add the prepared seepu murukku may be 6-7 at a time and fry till golden brown. Drain in tissue paper. Seepu murukku is ready!

Alternate Method if you do not have press :

• This is an alternate method if you don't have the seepu murukku press, but this method using comb is sure time consuming.
• First grease the board with oil - take a small portion of dough and roll it to 2 mm thikness, then  use a new unused comb and press it slightly so that the impression is on the thumb.
• Cut into strips and roll it as mentioned before. Cool down and store Seepu murukku in an airtight container.
