Murukku
RECIPE COURTESY OF MANEET CHAUHAN
Level: Intermediate
Total: 1 hr 10 min
Active: 1 hr 10 min
Yield: about 60 murukku

Ingredients

3/4 cup white urad dal (dhuli)
2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
3 cups fine rice flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 1/2 teaspoon red chile powder
1/2 teaspoon hing (asafetida powder)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
About 1 3/4 cups water
Vegetable oil, for the murukku maker and frying

Directions

Special equipment: a murukku maker

Dry-roast the urad dal in a large stainless steel skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Let cool, then grind in a spice grinder. Strain through a sieve.

Dry-roast the sesame seeds in the same skillet until golden brown, about 4 minutes.

In a bowl, mix together the rice flour, ground urad dal, sesame seeds, salt, turmeric, red chile powder and hing. Crumble in the butter and mix well. Add the water slowly and start to knead the dough. Knead to a smooth and soft dough, adding additional water as needed.

Cut about sixty 4-inch squares of parchment paper. Attach the star mold to a murukku maker and grease the murukku maker with some oil. Transfer the dough to the murukku maker and tighten the lid. Pipe the dough in about 3-inch-wide concentric circles on the parchment squares.

Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot to 350 degrees F. In batches, slide the murukku into the oil and fry, flipping, until crispy on both sides, about 3 minutes total. Drain on paper towels and let cool. Repeat with the remaining murukku, bringing the oil back to temperature between batches.
