CHAKKULI / MURUKKU

After a long time I am making murukku. This is my mother-in-law's recipe, but this time I added chilli powder to make it spicy.

CHAKKULI/ CHAKLI/MURUKKU

WHAT YOU NEED :

Raw rice - 1 cup

Udad dal - 2 handfuls

Salt - 1/2 tsp or to taste

Red chilli powder - 1/2tsp or to taste

Cumin seeds - 1 tsp

Butter - 2 tsp

CHAKKLI....

HOW TO MAKE :

Wash rice well and soak at least for 2 hours. Drain and keep aside. When it is dry and still having little moisture then put it in a mixer and jar and make powder.

Dry roast udad dal till it becomes little brown and you get the aroma. When it is cool powder it.

Now in a mixing bowl add in rice powder, udad dal powder, salt, red chilly powder, cumin seeds and butter. Mix well.

Then adding little warm water make a firm dough like chappati dough. Make the dough soft but firm dough by adding little by little water. You can add hot oil instead of butter.

Fill some dough in Murukku Maker and press to make shape of chaklis over the greased plastic sheets.

Now heat enough oil in kadahi. When hot take each chakli from the sheet and put in hot oil carefully. Reduce the heat and fry well on both sides. Fry the chaklis in batches.

Allow to cool before you store in air tight container.

Serve Chakkuli/Murukku with a cup of tea or coffee.
