11 Ring Murukku

How to Prepare

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, urad dal flour, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, asafoetida, and salt.
2. Add softened butter to the dry mixture and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add water, little by little, to form a soft, non-sticky dough.
4. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
5. Fill the murukku press with the dough and press out ring shapes directly into the hot oil or onto a greased surface before transferring to oil.
6. Fry the murukku in batches until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking (about 3-4 minutes per batch).
7. Remove using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.
8. Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
