Chakli (Murukulu)

 

Mainly Murukulu is an authentic South Indian‘s all-time favorite snack. This is very crunchy and little spicy in taste. All my friends love this Murukulu very much. I learnt this Murukulu from one of my friend Swathi.

Procedure:

Preparing dough:

  • Sieve Gram flour/Besan and keep it side.
  • Mix together Besan and rice flour in a wide bowl.
  • Now add sesame seeds, Ajwine, Hing, Salt, Red chili powder and melted butter into flour mix.
  • Mix everything well.
  • Now make soft dough by gradually adding water and knead it like lightly soft dough that means make sure that Dough shouldn’t be stiff.
  • Take a one “star” type of mold and fix it in a Murukulu presser.
  • Now fill Murukulu presser with required amount of dough.

Frying:

  • Heat the deep frying pan with required amount of cooking oil at medium to high heat.
  • Check the oil for perfect temperature by dropping very small amount of prepared dough (bead size). If the dough rises immediately that means oil is ready to fry.
  • At this time with your hands, slowly press the Murukulu mold in circular motion on the greased wide spatula and then immediately drop it in hot oil. (Please see my picture)

  • You can drop 5-6 Murukulu at each batch depending on the size of the pan.
  • Once the hot oil bubbles reduce then you can flip/turn it other side and fry it well, until golden brown.
  • Take out all Murukulu and place them in an oil strainer.
  • Check and adjust the oil temperature for every batch.
  • Store them in an air tight container once they come to the room temperature.
