RICE MURUKKU / ARISI MURUKKU

Written by: Shanthi Muthuvel

Murukku is a traditional Indian savory snack prepared with rice, lentil our, cumin seeds and butter
during festivals like Diwali and Krishna Jayanthi. My mom used to prepare this murukku our at
home. I got recipe from her and prepared the our at home in her style.
Ingredients:

Yields 20 or more murukku

2 cups - Raw rice

1/2 cup - Boiled rice
1/2 cup - Whole black gram without skin / ulunthu
2 tbsp - Butter
1/2 tsp - Cumin seeds
Salt to taste
Oil for deep frying
Preparation method:

1. Soak rice for 1 hour and drain water completely. Spread them in a cotton cloth( as shown in
the picture) and let them dry for 10 to 15 mins (do not over dry). Grind them to a ne
powder in a our mill (alternatively you can use mixer grinder to do so) and sieve it, set
aside.
2. Dry roast boiled rice and whole black gram each separately until slightly golden brown.
Allow them to cool and then grind them separately in a mixer grinder to a smooth powder.
Sieve both our and set it aside.
3. Now take a mixing bowl, add sieved raw rice our, boiled rice our, whole black gram our
and mix well. Then add butter, cumin seeds and required salt, mix well and add water,
knead into a soft dough. Set aside.
4. Heat oil in frying pan, ll the murukku press with this dough with murukku mould. Grease
reverse side of the ladle with little oil and make murukku on it then drop them in oil.
 5. Deep fry them over medium ame to slightly golden brown or until hiss sound stops
completely. Use paper towel to remove excess oil. After murukku is cool down store it in an
airtight container.

Notes:

You need to wait till bubbles stop to make sure Murukku is well cooked.
The dough has to be in a correct consistency, should not be sticky or too hard.
Butter is must ingredient in this recipe since it helps the murukku to stay crispy for long.
i used 4 hole iron murukku mould. If you use the mould with less number of holes you get
perfect shape of murukku.
Make sure raw rice our, boiled rice our and ulunthu our are very ne. Sieve twice or
thrice to make sure it is ne. Otherwise murukku will burst while frying.
My mom makes large quantity of this murukku our, so she used to go to our mill to grind
rice and ulunthu our. You can store this our in freezer to make instant murukku later.
You can replace raw rice our with store bought rice our
