Quick Urad Dal Murukku Recipe
Crispy Fried Snack: This is a twist on the traditional Urad Dal Murukku recipe. I have used soaked and ground urad dal instead of roasting and grinding them.
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Mixer grinder
- Murukku Press
- Pan for frying
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Urad Dal; washed and soaked in water for about 4 hours
- 4 Cups Rice Powder
- 2 tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Asafoetida
- 5 tbsp Softened butter
- 1 tbsp Red Chilli Flakes
- 3 tbsp Sesame Seeds
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Discard the excess water from the soaked urad dal.
- Grind it into a fine paste. Use just about the amount of water needed to make a fine, smooth paste.
- Transfer this paste to a mixing bowl.
- Add rice powder, salt, red chilli flakes, asafoetida, sesame seeds and butter.
- Mix well.
- You should get a smooth paste. If it feels too firm, add a little bit of water.
- Transfer small portions of this mixture into the murukku press and release the strings directly into medium-hot oil.
- Fry till they turn golden brown.
