Murukku is a popular South Indian snack known for its deliciously crispy texture and rich flavors. This particular recipe incorporates the aromatic flavors of cumin, garlic, and onion, making it an irresistible treat. Made from white rice and lentils, Murukku is perfect for festive occasions or as a delightful tea-time snack.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Add the ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to the flour mixture. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
- In a small pan, heat the butter and olive oil together until the butter is completely melted.
- Pour the melted butter and olive oil into the flour mixture. Mix thoroughly to distribute the fats evenly.
- Gradually add water to the flour mixture, a little at a time, while kneading the mixture. Continue adding water until you achieve a smooth, firm dough that is not too sticky. The dough should be supple and pliable.
- Preheat oil for deep-frying in a deep pan or wok over medium heat.
- Divide the dough into small portions. Using a murukku maker or a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle, pipe the dough into spirals or any desired shape directly into the hot oil. You can also shape the murukku on a greased surface or plate and transfer them carefully into the oil.
- Fry a few pieces at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until they turn golden brown and are crispy, usually taking about 4-6 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried murukku and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Allow the murukku to cool completely. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
- Enjoy your homemade Murukku with cumin, garlic, and onion as a delicious snack with tea or coffee!
Tips:
- Ensure the rice and lentils are finely ground to achieve a smooth dough, which is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.
- Use a Murukku press for shaping. If you don't have one, you can use a piping bag with a star-shaped nozzle.
- When frying, make sure the oil is hot enough. This will ensure that the Murukku cooks evenly and absorbs less oil.
- Store the Murukku in an airtight container once cooled to keep them crisp for a longer period.
With its delightful crunch and flavorful twists, this Murukku with cumin, garlic, and onion is sure to be a hit at any gathering. The process might take a bit of time, but the result is a scrumptious snack that's well worth the effort. Enjoy your homemade Murukku with your favorite beverage or serve it as a tasty treat to your guests.
