Instructions

  • Sieve together rice flour, urad dal flour, spices and salt.
  • Add butter and sesame seeds.
  • Mix gently using fingertips to form a texture like breadcrumbs.
  • Add coconut milk little at a time and make soft smooth dough. The amount of coconut milk may vary depending on the quality of the rice flour. Hence add accordingly and check for spices.
  • Rest it for 20 - 30 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a pan.
  • Take a small portion of dough and place it inside the murukku maker with 3 holes disc.
  • Grease 3 ladles or a small plate or use baking sheet for preparation. Squeeze murukku on it and then gently drop it into the hot oil.
  • Once cooked, transfer it to a colander for excess oil(if any) to be drained.
  • Repeat the process for the rest of the murukku dough. Allow the murukkus to cool completely and transfer them to an airtight container.

Notes

1 cup of whole urad dal yields approximately 1 ¼ cup urad dal flour. Hence store the remaining flour for future use.
Unlike the regular coconut milk murukku, this will be little brown in color due to the addition of spices.
