Murukku (version-2)/Chakli

For the final day of BM#23 I made spicy version of murukku with the cooked urad dhal and rice flour.I have already posted the Diwali Muruku or Thenkuzhal Paasiparuppu(moong dhal) murukku .But this is a slightly spicy version of murruku and my mom learnt it from her neighbor.Here goes the recipe for crunchy murukku..........

Ingredients

Ingredient	Quantity
Rice flour/arisi maavu	2cups
Whole urad dhal/ullutham paruppu	1/2cup
Chilly powder/milagai podi	1tsp
Cumin seeds/jeeragam	1tsp
Asafoetida	1/8tsp
Butter	2tbs
Salt	to taste
Oil	for frying

Method

Pressure cook the urad dhal for 2-3 whistles with 11/2ups of water.Blend the cooked urad dhal in a blender to a fine paste and keep aside.
Take a wide mouth bowl and add rice flour,ground urad dhal,butter,chilly powder,salt,asafoetida,cumin seeds.Mix it well and sprinkle water little by little and make a soft dough.

Mean while heat a pan with oil,fill the murruku press with the prepared dough using the 3 eyed blade and squeeze it in the oil directly or in a small plates and drop it in the oil.Fry it in a medium till it becomes crisp and golden.Drain it on a paper towel and let it cool.

After cooling store it in a air tight container.

Enjoy..............................

The flour doesn't need of much water as the urad dhal has moisture in it.I used only 3tbs of water.
Butter can be substituted with 3tbs of hot oil.
Instead of cumin seeds,carom seeds or sesame seeds can be used.
Star shaped blade can be used.
