I have thought that making muruku is one of the hard job I can imagine..I know many of you have that experience..
But Amma has simplified this process for you..She make the perfect muruku with no effort..Actually in our first batch of muruku making, she took rice and ground it in a grinder and made into a smooth paste..
But in our second batch we took rice flour and mixed it with powdered roasted channa dal flour and made muruku..And I am telling this is more tasty and easier than the first one..
The one important thing you should remember while doing muruku is the propotions..We used the traditional muruku achu for making this,but I think you can make it in piping bag with star tip or any of your favotite tip..
So I hope everyone love this recipe and here you go for the step by step recipe with pictures and well as I have a video for you..
Ingrediants:
Rice flour / Arisi Mavu-5 cup
Roasted Channa Dal / Pori Kaladai / Pottu Kadalai-2 ½ cup powdered
Cumin seeds-2 tblspn
Salt to taste
Heated Oil-3 tblspn
Method:
In a mixing bowl add rice flour and roasted channa dal flour…
Add in salt and cumin seeds…Mix well together..
Now add in water and make into a soft dough..
Pour in some hot oil and mix well together…
Now take your mould and fill this dough in it..
Take a parchment paper or any clean cloth and form muruku shape in that by pressing the mould..(Refer videos and pictures).
Heat oil for deep frying and carefully drop the muruku in oil and fry till golden..
Drain in a paper towel and let it cool completely…Store this in air tight container for several weeks..

Looks great..very crunchy! My mom used to make this and I always thought how it was possible to do without that special gadget…great tip on using a piping bag instead. I would never have thought of that!
Uffff…. perfectly shaped murukku. Really a nice way of making this first on plastic cover, but how do you lift that. It looks so delicate. But great work dear.
Happy Diwali and these looks perfectly shaped and crispy. Great work on making these so perfect.
Happy Diwali to you and your family! I absolutely adore muruku – yum!
looks yummy
& Wish you a Happy Diwali!!
My MIL made this the other day! While it looks great, I have to say they do prick the roof of the mouth and gums..I am fond of the taste but not of the pattern..He He!
These look delicious! I may have to try making these 🙂
i like ur joe more than ur murukku.(kidding murukku came out very well). i am missing my viki who looks same as ur joe.
Joe looks so sweet. Feel like cuddling him. I exactly did not know how murukku is made.Thanks for showing.
Hi chechi,
thank you for this recipe. would like to try this today.
one question, is the roasted chana dal powder the same as besan (gram flour)? if not how can I make the roasted chana dal powder?
@GianaNo it is different, it is also called as dalia
I have a question regarding pottukadali. The measurement given is of the powdered pottukadlai or before powdering?
Thanks
@Anonymousit is after powdered
Hi Aarthi
Thanks for the recipe. Would like to try this. My usual recipe turns out the murruku a bit harder. Would like to know if rice flour is ok or idiyapam flour ( will make the murukku more crunchier?)
thanks
