Butter Murukku

Butter Murukku is a traditional Indian snack made during festivals. I tried to get small pieces of butter murukku. That’s very easy to hold and have it. Kids love these small pieces of Murukku. 
     
The murukku is soft with a melt in the mouth texture. This goes well with any tea party.
Ingredients
Rice Flour – 2 cups
Roasted Gram Powder – 3 tsp /Pottukadalai
Sesame Seeds – 1 tsp (black/white)
Salt to taste
Butter – 4 tsp
Oil to deep fry
Method
Take roasted gram (pottukadalai) and grind it to a fine powder, take this grinded gram flour and set aside.

Dry roast besan flour for a min until nice aroma is released. Now sieve together rice flour, besan and gram flour together.

In a mixing bowl add sieved flours along with sesame seeds, butter and salt. Then mix it well.

Add water little by little to form smooth slightly sticky dough. Take your murukku mould and fit in the star shape disc.

Grease the murukku press with little oil and fill it up with small ball sized dough.

Heat oil, in a pan. Now carefully press directly into oil, press in such a way.

They don’t stick to each other, so put few murukku each and every time to avoid sticky with each other.

Fry till golden brown and drain in a tissue paper. Cool down in a store in an airtight container.
Notes
  1.    Hold the murukku press safe enough high to avoid hot steams.
  2. ·  Do not over crowd while squeezing as it will result in oil drunken murukkus
  3. ·  After your dough is prepared keep it covered to avoid it from drying
