Notes
1)Batter consistency is important. The batter should not be too thick or too thin. If it is too thick, then the murukku will be chewy, if it is too thin, the the muruku wont comes from the achu maker.
2)The consistency of the batter should be little thinner than dosa batter, thicker than rava dosa batter.
3)Adding cumin seeds is optional.
4)Heating the achu in hot oil is important, so the batter sticks properly to the achu.
5)Dont dip the achu all the way through in the batter, you have to dip it half way or a little more than half way. If you dip it completely then the murukku wont come off from the achu.
6)Try to remove the achu using a fork or knife or a tongs when it is almost cooked. If you try to remove when the murukku is not cooked, then it may tear up.
7)Fry the murukku till it reaches light golden colour, it will keep on cook and get colour as it cools.
8)The murukku will look soft when you remove it from oil, it will get harder and crispier as it cools. Treatment for New Achu: 1)First heat some oil in a kadai. Dip the achu in the oil and switch off the heat, leave it in the oil overnight. This way the achu is properly tempered.
2)Immerse the achu in dosa batter for a whole day, remove it wash it well, wipe it dry, apply oil on all sides, leave it for a whole day again and use.
