    Notes

    1) While you press the muruku, if you find it cracking, then add more water to the dough.
    2) Fry muruku in hot oil, if you add it to cold oil, then muruku wont cook properly and it will drink more oil.
    3) You can add sesame seeds too.
    4) Cover the dough with wet cloth as it dries soon.

      @soundariyaThere is two reason.

      1)Your dough has too much fat. Add more rice flour and knead the dough again.

      2) The oil which you are frying is not hot enough

      Hi Aarthi,

      I made these murukku today and I am successful. I also made poli as per the instructions. With the proportions, I could make 15. Thank you very much for showing this step by step which otherwise I would not have dared doing.

      Thanks,
      Santhi

      Hi Aarthi,

      Can we use the ready made rice flour available in the shops. Any particular brand you can recommend ??
      How do you grind at home if you are making for 1kg ?? My mixie spoilt due to over heating.

      Thanks
