Ingredients

Instructions

1. Dry roast 4 tablespoons of urad dal on medium heat until lightly golden, then cool and grind to a fine powder, sieving if needed. Use only 4 tablespoons of this flour. (Alternatively, blend 3 tablespoons roasted gram into powder and use 3 tablespoons.)
2. Grease the murukku mould and a star-shaped plate with a little oil.
3. In a bowl, mix 1 cup rice flour, the 4 tablespoons urad dal flour, ¾ teaspoon ajwain, salt and ¾ teaspoon sesame seeds.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small pan and pour it over the flour, then mix well.
5. Add water little by little until you have a smooth dough. Mix without kneading; the dough should be non-sticky and free of crumbs. Use it immediately, without resting.
6. Heat oil in a kadai on medium heat.
7. Fill the mould with dough and press spirals onto a cloth, butter paper, foil or a flat holed ladle.
8. Set the flame to medium high. Test the oil by dropping in a small piece of dough: it should rise steadily without browning, not sink.
9. Slide the murukku into the hot oil and fry until golden and crisp on medium high heat.
10. Drain on kitchen tissue, then cool completely and store in an airtight jar.
