Wishing all my dear friends a wonderful day! How are you all doing?
Today, I prepared a popular snack that is often found in markets, but this time, I made it at home. This crispy and delicious treat—Murukku—is a traditional short eat loved for its unique shape and delightful crunch. The best part of making it at home is that it’s free from artificial additives, allowing you to enjoy a healthier version. Murukku is made using a blend of rice flour, chickpea flour, and spices, then deep-fried to perfection. This savory snack is a favorite during festive occasions and tea-time gatherings. Whether you enjoy it as a light snack or share it with friends and family, Murukku is a satisfying treat that will keep you coming back for more. Now, let’s see how to prepare this delicious snack at home!
White rice flour 150g.
Chickpea flour 75g.
Salt to taste.
Coconut oil for frying.
1/2 Teaspoon of Chili powder.
1/3 Teaspoon of turmeric powder.
A few finely chopped curry leaves.
1/2 Teaspoon of Cumin.
1 Piping bag'
Now, let's begin making it!
First, take a mixing bowl and add rice flour, chickpea flour, finely chopped curry leaves, chili powder, a pinch of salt, cumin seeds, and turmeric powder. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined.
Next, gradually add water, little by little, while continuously mixing to form a smooth and thick batter with the right consistency.
Now, take the prepared batter and transfer it into a piping bag. Then, cut a small opening at the tip of the piping bag to shape the murukku properly.
Now, add coconut oil to a pan and place it on the stove. Once the oil is heated, pipe the batter into the hot oil as shown in the images below. Fry until the murukku turns golden brown, ensuring even cooking.
Now, your homemade murukku is ready! This crispy, golden-brown traditional snack is not only delicious but also easy to prepare. With its crunchy texture and perfect blend of spices, murukku is an ideal treat for any occasion. Try making it at home and enjoy it with a warm cup of tea.
That’s it for today! Have a wonderful day, everyone! 😊
