ABOUT Butter Murukku RECIPE

Butter Murukku is prepared by mixing Gram Flour and rice flour in defined quantities and then mixed with butter and spices and fried in oil.

Ingredients Serving: 2

Rice Flour – 2 Cups
Gram flour – 1 cup
Cumin Seeds -1 tbsp.
Carom Seeds (Ajwain) – 1 tbsp.
Chilli Powder – 1.5 tbsp.
Turmeric Powder – ¼ spoon
Asafoetida – ¼ spoon
Salt – As per taste
Butter – 2 tbsp.
Oil – for frying
Hot Water – To make stiff dough

Instructions

Take a big mixing bowl and pour in measured quantities of Rice Flour and Gram Flour. Alternatively instead of using Gram Flour, we can use fried gram powder.
Add in Cumin Seeds, Carom Seeds, Turmeric Powder, Asafoetida, Chilli Powder, Salt and mix well.
Add in butter and mix it well so that the whole mixture resembles the Semolina texture without any lumps.
Take a small quantity of this mixture and add in hot water, mix well and make a stiff dough.
Load this dough into the Murukku Presser with the star shaped design plate at the bottom.
Heat oil in a deep bottomed pan/kadai.
While the oil is getting hot, grease some polythene sheets with few drops of oil and gently press the murukku presser. Start spreading the dough coming out in a circular shape to the desired size.
Once the oil is hot, gently drop the prepared Murukku’s and fry until golden brown.
Repeat this for the next set of Butter Murukkus.
