KAI MURUKKU

Ingredients:

3 cups rice flour
¼ cup roasted urad dal flour
½ cup butter
1 ½ tbs oil (heated)
1 tbs cumin seeds
1 tbs sesame seeds
A pinch of asafoetida powder
Salt to taste
Enough water
Oil for deep frying

Method:

Mix the flours, salt, asafoetida powder, cumin seeds and sesame seeds well. Rub the butter in using tips of your fingers to incorporate the fat well. Add in the heated oil, mix well.
Add water to the above gradually and knead to a soft dough. Cover with a lid, not allowing the air to dry the dough.
Spread a clean cloth on the counter .
Take a small ball of the dough in your palm. Grease the tips of your fingers with oil. Roll the dough between your fingers to a small rope. Fixing one end of the rope as the starting point, twist simultaneously like a chain. Turn your hand in a circular motion, dropping the twisted rope on the sheet. Go two or three rounds thus. Seal the other edge to the chain.

Repeat with few more.
Heat oil in a pan. When the oil is very hot, but not nearly smoking, drop gently the prepared murukkus into the oil. Drop as many as the oil will hold, yet the murukkus can move freely in the oil and cook.
Deep fry until the murukkus are golden brown. Remove from oil and drain in a colander.
Cool well before storing.
