Butter Murukku Recipe


Rice flour - 1 cup (we can use idiyappam flour to make this.Roast it for 2mins then use it).
Besan flour(Kadala Maavu) - 2 tbsp
Roasted gram  - 1 tbsp (or) Gram flour (Potukadalai Maavu)- 3 tsp
Butter - 2 tsp
Sesame Seeds - 1 tsp
Salt - to taste
Oil - to deep fry


Method:
Take roasted gram and grind it to a fine powder.Dry roast besan flour for a min until nice aroma is released. Now sieve together rice flour,besan flour and gram flour together.
In a mixing bowl add sieved flours along with sesame seeds,butter and salt.Mix it well .Add water little by little to form a smooth slightly sticky dough more like our idiyappam dough consistency.
Take your murukku mould and fit in the star shape disc.Grease the murukku press with little oil and fill it up with dough.
Heat oil - drop a small pinch of dough to check if the oil temperature is right...when the dough immediately raises to the top with a sizzle then your oil is ready.Now carefully press directly into oil, press in such a way they dont stick to each other, so don't overcrowd.In low flame fry till golden brown and drain in a tissue paper.
Cool down in an store in an airtight container.
