Moongdal Murukku

Description

Moongdal r rich is proteins n good for health..i tried it out murukku with these pulses n the result was amazing…crispy n tasty moongdal murukkus r excellent snacks for kids…give a trial..
Ingredients
1 cup Split moong dal
2 cup Rice flour
1 cup Gram flour
½ tsp Asafoetida powder
2 tsp Butter
1 T Cumin seeds
2 tsp Sesame seeds
Oil for frying
Salt

Instructions

Pressure cook the split moong dal upto 3 whistles…take off from the cooker n let them cool…sieve both rice flour n gram flour together n keep aside…now grind nicely the pressure cooked moong dal with a food processor with 1/4 cup of water..it should be very soft n without any dal pieces..add this moongdal grounded paste along with the sieved rice n gram flour…add asafoetida powder, cumin seeds, sesame seeds as well as butter…add salt as per taste to the flour mixture n mix everything well n knead as a dough..if u need water just sprinkle, mostly u will sprinkle not even one fourth cup of water..dough will be slightly sticky..Use a Murukku press with star nozzle or plate,take a small portion of the dough,squeeze out in a greased flat plate r in a greased Jallikarandi , once the oil is hot, add the squeezed murukku  . Fry until its golden brown and drain excess oil by placing them over a paper towel..

Moongdal murukkus r ready…Cool completely and store in an air -tight container.


Notes

Always try a small sample before making entire dough,After frying the first batch, taste them..add salt if needed..

Oil should be hot while frying murukkus else they will be soggy

When the murukkus r fried, they will start floating n the oil will stop completely bubbling..at this stage take out the murukkus else they wont be crispy if u take them out before…
