ABOUT ALMOND MURUKKU / BADAM MURUKKU RECIPE

Badam murukku is a easy diwali recipe that I wanted to try. If you see my diwali recipes list, it will be full of sweet recipes and I haven’t tried any savory recipe. I am a sweet toothed person and rarely eat savory snacks. So tried this murukku for the first time and it came out so well. It is soft and crispy like the murukku bought in stores. The almond taste and flavor in murukku is really good.

Ingredients Serving: 5

Rice flour – 1 cup
Badam – 15
Sesame seeds – 1 tsp
Cumin seeds – 1/2 tsp
Salt – 1/2 tsp
Ghee – 2 tsp
Hot water – as required for kneading dough
Oil – for deep frying

Instructions

Soak badam in hot water for 10 minutes and peel the skin. Add it to mixer and grind into paste adding little water.
Take rice flour in a mixing bowl, then add salt, cumin seeds, sesame seeds and badam paste to it and mix.
Melt ghee and pour into rice flour mixture and knead into smooth dough adding little hot water.
Keep the dough covered until use. Heat oil for deep frying.
Take a portion of dough, put inside the murukku press and squeeze into oil to get small strips. You can also make into circles.
Fry in medium to low flame. Once the sound of oil subsides, remove the murukku from oil and drain excess oil in kitchen tissues.
Repeat for remaining dough. The crispy badam murukku is ready.
