Mullu Muruku

Muruku is a crispy and crunchy snack which is very popular all over India. Mullu means thorn. These muruku are in a shape of mullu / thorn so that's why then name mullu muruku. These delicious snacks are made specially during Diwali and Krishna Astami. My kids love these snack in any shape they are made. I have added besan along with rice flour in this recipe. Where as udad flour or sago flour are also added for few variations of Muruku.

This recipe goes to Week 4 day 2 of Blogging Marathon 105 under the theme " Diwali Savories and Sweets".







Ingredients:


Rice flour 3 cups
Besan / Gram flour 1 cup
Carom seeds 1 tsp
Sesame seeds 1 tbsp
Chili powder 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
Butter / Ghee 4 tbsp
Oil for deep frying


Preparation:


In a large mixing bowl add all the ingredients and mix well.
Add warm water to make a semi stiff dough.
Heat oil for deep frying.
Add  mullu muruku plate in the muruku maker and fill it with the dough.
Once the oil is hot, turn the flame to low and  gently press the muruku maker in the oil.
Fry the muruku on medium flame till nice and crisp.
Remove and place them on kitchen paper towel to remove excess oil.

It's hard to resist these crunchy murukku and IMO Deepavali is incomplete without these murukkus. Good one Sushma.
