Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Ragi Flour also known as ragi flour
- 1 cup Sorghum Flour also known as jowar atta
- 1 tbsp Carom Seeds ajwain, finely ground
- 1 tsp Chili finely minced or 1/2 tsp green chili paste, green
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
Wet Ingredients
Other
- 2 cup Oil for deep frying
- Muruku Press
- Paper Towels for draining excess oil
Instructions
Prepare the Banana
- Mash the boiled raw banana until smooth.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together the finger millet flour, sorghum flour, ground carom seeds, green chili, and salt.
Make the Dough
- Add the mashed banana to the dry ingredients. Gradually add water, mixing with your fingertips until a smooth, non-sticky dough forms. Do not add too much water at once.
Prepare the Muruku Press
- Lightly grease your muruku press with oil.
Fry the Muruku
- Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fill the muruku press with a portion of the dough. Press the muruku into the hot oil, forming the desired shape. Fry in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the Muruku
- Fry the muruku until they turn a light golden brown, turning occasionally with a slotted spoon to ensure even cooking. This will take approximately 2-3 minutes per batch.
Drain and Serve
- Remove the fried muruku and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy!
Storage
- Store leftover muruku in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 weeks.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Muruku
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) to the dough.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the muruku to prevent them from absorbing too much oil. A drop of dough should sizzle immediately.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying; fry in small batches for optimal crisping.
- If the dough becomes too stiff, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
