Instant Butter Murukku



Roasted gram dal Murukku is an Instant south Indian version of Chaklis which is usually prepared in Maharashtra and Gujarat. These are usually prepared in Diwali and Krishna Janamashtami.
5Chaklis are a bit harder in texture than these Murukkus. They are so light they can't hold shape like Chaklis. I bet these are too good to resist and will be eaten off within no time especially by children.

This is a very handy recipe as you can prepare them within no time with ingredients you already have in hand. Roasted gram also known as Puthani is powdered to make a flour and combined with Rice flour and butter to make crispy melt in mouth Murukkus.
Flavored with Hing, Carom seeds, and sesame seeds, these are super delicious to relish and enjoy.

The main trick is in mixing the butter along with the flours such that they turn too light and crispy. Let's dive into the recipe.

INGREDIENTS:
Roasted gram /Puthani 1/2 cup
Rice flour 2 cups
Ajwain / Carom seeds 1/2 tsp
Melted butter 1 tbsp
Sesame seeds 1/2 tsp
Red chili powder 1/2 tsp
Salt and water as needed
Cooking oil to deep fry.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Grind 1/4 cup Roasted gram in a grinder into a fine powder and measure 1/4 cup. Keep aside.
2. In a bowl, add rice flour, roasted gram flour, salt, red chili powder, carom seeds sesame seeds.

3. Now add melted butter and water.



4. Mix well to spread the butter in the flour mixture and make a slightly sticky dough.


5. In a Kadhai, take Oil for frying and heat it in low flame.

 6. Take a Chakli /Murukku press with a star-shaped chakli maker.


7. Fill it with dough and squeeze the dough in when the oil gets hot enough.

 

8. Deep fry the murukku till they turn slightly orange. Dont over fry them as they may taste burnt.

7.Remove and drain on a paper towel. Store in an airtight container after they cool down.


  I hope you will love making these Murukkus and relish with friends and family.

Eggless Brazilian Cheese Bread

Pao de Queijo (pronounced as pown -deh- kay-zho) aka Brazilian Cheese Bread is a small baked cheese bun, a popular snack and breakfast food that originated in the state Minas Gerais of Brazil. These are bread/buns usually made with tapioca flour, milk, oil, cheese, salt, and egg/egg substitute. Since I don't use eggs in my baking I have used vinegar instead. These are soft, chewy and so addictive. I love to make healthy bakes from all around the world. Inspired by this YouTube video by Something Dave and I gave it a try as it was an eggless version.These came out so well. These are super simple and easy to make with just five ingredients. A must try because they are gluten-free, contain no yeast, no baking powder, yet so soft and cheesy😋 I had never tried baking with tapioca flour...and found it so interesting to bake with. The dough is too sticky and you will need some extra flour to be dusted to make balls out of it. I have used plant-based pa

Huli pudi (Sambar Powder) North Karnataka style

Huli Pudi is one of the authentic traditional Sambar powders which has been passed on from generation to generation. This is specially made in North Karnataka. There is a wide variety of sambar powders not only within Karnataka but within South India. Each region has it's own way of adding ingredients and making them. In North Karnataka brahmin families, you can usually see two types of Sambars, firstly 'Saaru ' which can also be called Rasam with Toor dal. The consistency is thin and usually made with Tur dal and tomatoes or Tamarind. The other one is 'Huli' which is thicker in consistency and usually includes some veggies or greens. So here I am sharing the Sambar powder that is used to make a typical Huli. This is so unique and different from South Karnataka Sambar powders. The main difference being the omission of urad dal and Tur dal. This powder is just made with dried spices. This can be made in advance in large quantities/batches and stored in a
