What you need
Rice Flour: 1 cup
Besan flour: ¼ cup
Fried gram flour/pottu kadalai: ¼ cup
Sago/Sabudana/Tapioca pearls: ¼ cup
Salt : ½ teaspoon or to taste
Curd - 50 grams ( I didn’t used)
Chile powder - 1 teaspoon
Hot oil: 1 tablespoon (I used olive oil)
Cumin seeds: 1 teaspoon
Asafoetida: ¼ teaspoon
Water: ¾ cup
How I made
Soak Sago in water for 3 hrs, However I end up soaking them for 48 hours.
In medium bowl add rice, fried gram flour, besan, chili powder, cumin seeds, asafetodia, salt and oil and mix well. To this add water and soaked sago and mix once again to form dough. Knead 1-2 to minutes to form a smooth chapathi dough consistency.
In thick bottomed pan heat oil, once it become smoking hot. Using a muruku achu or presser , press a small amount of dough directly into the oil.
As one side starts cooking in about 3 minutes flip the other side and also cook for another 3 minutes. Once they become golden brown, remove them using a slotted spoon.
Drain excess oil in kitchen towel. Repeat the process until the entire dough is finished.
Cool and store it in an air tight container.
Enjoy with hot tea or coffee.
Preparation time: Soaking time: 3 hours
Cooking time: 40 minutes
Yield: 6 serving
Verdict: yummy, crispy
will you make it again: yes I will.

Swathy, nice to see the blog. So you try first with your husband 🙂
I try it with my friends 😉
Murukku looks good. My mom used to say that making murukku is not a simple task as the outcome needs to be crisp and with adequate ingredients. I like the things she prepares, might be because it was the one I had from my childhood.
When I say to my Aunt that my Mother prepares better than her then her face is worth watching. 🙂

I have always restrained myself from making murukku only because of that pressing part. I need to learn that muscle thing too before even thinking of trying it . Haha

Hi Swathi, I thought the Muruku was all worth the effort. with due precaution taken it's an easy sail. Well tried girl.
Ruchikacooks says
Happy Vishu Swathi. Vishu kani pathacha? Hope the new year brings lots of good stuff!
Murukku looks nice, I didnt make it this time, was busy and then read about the sago splattering..all that qualifies as murukku is the buttery-salty-melting in the mouth and yours seems to have got the effect.
