Sankranthi special food - Muruku

Preparation of Murukkus





Ingredients

100 gm raw rice
200 gm urad dal
15 gm jeera
2 gm asafoetida
ghee
salt 

Method

Soak the rice in water for a while.  Drain out all the water and let the rice dry.  Roast the urad dal. Powder the rice and urad dal separately, then sift them through a fine sieve and mix them together.  Dissolve salt in water and add asafoetida to it.  Add jeera, the salt-asafoetida water and ghee to the sifted flour and knead to prepare firm a dough.  Place the dough in a steel press with a perforated disc to make thin noodle shapes.  Press out the dough into hot oil in a circular motion and leave enough spaces between the murukkus while frying.  Turn them over in the oil once and remove when golden brown in colour.
