ABOUT Sago Jantikalu/Murukku... RECIPE

A famous Andhra snack dish popular for it's crispy and crunchy texture. This is an interesting twist given to it by me. Enjoy these on a lazy weekend evening or during the heavy downpour outside and you remain indoors due to that. This is a perfect snack idea during the cold winter evenings too. In short, it is just apt for any day and best enjoyed with a hot beverage of your choice.

Ingredients Serving: 5

Sago pearls 1 cup
Rice flour 1 cup
Gram flour 1/2 cup
Salt to taste
Red chilli powder 1 tsp
Sesame seeds 1 tbsp
Carom seeds crushed (ajwain) 1 tsp
Cumin seeds 1 tsp
Hot oil 1 tbsp
Oil for frying

Instructions

Dry grind the sago pearls as the first step.
Now add in all the rest of the ingredients to make a smooth dough.
Hot oil gives crisp jantikalu. It is therefore recommended.
Let the dough rest until the oil heats up.
Start frying these once the oil is ready.
Fry these on medium to high flame taking care not to burn them.
They should retain the crunch yet get cooked thoroughly.
Do not panic as they tend to be soft when they are hot.
Once they cool down or get down to the room temperature, they become crispy and crunchy.
Store them in airtight containers and enjoy upto more than 10 days.
