Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1.5 Cups Rice Flour / அரிசிமாவு
  • ¼ Cup Besan Flour / கடலைமாவு
  • 4 - 6 Flakes Garlic / பூண்டு ((Big))
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder / மிளகாய்த்தூள்
  • 1 tbsp Butter / வெண்ணை
  • 1 tsp Sesame Seeds / எள்ளு
  • Salt / உப்பு (As Required)
  • Water / தண்ணீர் (As Required)
  • Oil / எண்ணெய் (For Deep Frying)

Instruction

  • First, measure and keep all the ingredients ready. In a mixer, add the chopped garlic.
  • Grind it to a smooth paste by adding little water. Also, don't grind the garlic coarsely, as it gets stuck in the chakli press. To a wide bowl, add the Rice Flour, besan flour, chilli powder, sesame seeds, butter and required salt.
  • Add the ground garlic, pour water little by little and start kneading the dough.
  • Pour 2 tbsp of hot oil and knead the dough again. It should be soft and not stiff, else it will be hard to press. Keep the dough covered till you finish, to avoid drying. Grease the press with little oil, then take a portion of the dough and stuff it into the murukku presser.
  • Take a ladle and make swirls on the backside, this method gives a good shape. If you have the experience, make swirls directly in the oil itself. Heat oil in a Kadai and check the temperature by dropping a small piece of the dough. If it raises immediately, then the oil temperature is perfect. Then drop it gently in the oil, just 2 or 3 at a time, accordingly to the size of the Kadai.
  • Fry in medium flame on both sides, till golden colour and the shhhh sound, ceases. Repeat the same with the remaining dough. Drain it in a kitchen towel. The oil gets absorbed by time, pour a little and fry again. Do try this flavourful Garlic Murukku Recipe for this Diwali.
