Ingredients
  • Rice flour/ Idiyappam flour – 1 cup
  • Almonds – 5 (optional)
  • Mint – 10 leaves
  • Garlic – 2
  • Red chilli powder – 1 tsp
  • Sesame seeds – 1.5 tsp
  • Salt – as needed
  • Ghee/Melted butter – 1 tsp (optional)
  • Oil – for deep frying
Instructions
  1. Grind mint leaves,almond and garlic with little water, smoothly.
  2. Take a mixing bowl, mix the rice flour, salt, gram flour, asafetida, sesame seeds, ghee and blended mint leaves paste to it.
  3. Add enough water little by little and make a smooth dough without any cracks. Make sure it is not sticky either.
  4. Take a clover shaped plate or a single holed star in the murruku press. Fill the press with dough.
  5. Press it and make into circular shape or small coils like below. I always grease a plate and make murukku first in that and drop them in oil. This will help to make a ncie shaped ones.
  6. When the oil is hot, in medium high heat, drop the shaped murukku. Do not crowd the pan, it will make the oil temperature go down.
  7. When it turns into crispy golden brown color on one side and also when bubbles ceases, flip this carefully using the ladle to other side and cook till the bubble ceases. Drain it in tissue paper, cool down completely and store in airtight container
Notes
1. Make sure you fry them in hot oil. If you make it in low flame, the murukkus will drink up lot of oil.
2. Always grease some laddles and make murukku first in that then drop them in oil. This will help to make nice shaped ones.
