Ingredients

2 cups
Besan Flour/Kadalai Maavu
¼ cup + 1 tbsp
Fried gram Flour/Pottukadalai Maavu
¼ cup
Butter
2 ½ tbsp
Cumin /Jeeragam
1 tsp
Asafoetida/Hing/Perungaayam
One big pinch
Salt
As needed
Oil
 For Frying
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 40 minutes

Method

Grind the roasted gram/pottukadalai in a dry mixer to a fine powder. Sieve the pottukadalai flour and keep it aside.


Sieve the rice flour and keep it aside. I used homemade rice flour, you can very well check out the preparation of rice flourhere.


Similarly sieve the besan flour/kadalai maavu and keep it aside.

In a wide bowl add the sieved roasted gram flour, rice flour, besan flour, cumin seeds/jeeragam, asafetida/perungayam and salt.


Now add the melted butter and mix thoroughly, so that the butter is evenly spread throughout the flour.


Add warm water little by little and mix the flour together really well to make a soft dough.


Heat oil in a kadai for deep frying the murukkus. Grease the murukku press with oil.

Fill the murukku press with dough and close it tightly. You can use star shaped acchu to make this murukku.


Check if the oil is hot enough by dropping very small piece of dough, if it floats on top immediately with a sizzle then the oil is ready.

Now squeeze the murukku directly in to the oil. Cook only in medium flame. Hold the murukku press, little higher so that you can avoid hot steam on your fingers. Cook the murukku on both sides until the “shh” sound stops. Remove it from oil and drain it on a paper towel.


After the murukkus cool down, transfer them to an air tight container. These Butter Murukkus stay good for about 4 weeks.


Similarly make murukkus with rest of the dough and store them for later.

Super crispy and crunchy murukkus are ready to be enjoyed.
