TIPS & VARIATIONS :

  1. Once the dough is ready, prepare the Murukku; otherwise Murukku will become hard.
  2. Use finely powdered Rice flour.
  3. Asafoetida/Hing is added for good digestion. You can skip it too.
  4. For this Murukku or Chakli you can put Carom seeds/Ajwain, and white sesame seeds too.
  5. Do not make the dough too soft by adding water, it will absorb too much oil.
  6. You can use ghee/butter for preparing the dough, however I have not used any hot oil/ghee/butter for preparing the dough.
  7. To test the temperature of the oil, always add a little piece of dough to the oil.  If it comes up gradually, the oil is just right for frying. If it comes up super quickly, the oil is too hot.
  8. Deep fry on a medium flame. If you fry on high flame then the colour changes to brownish but it will not be cooked properly from inside.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS :

1. Why is Murukku/Chakli not crispy?

Most importantly Murukku/ Chakli’s need to be fried on medium flame. If you fry on a high flame, they seem to be cooked from outside, but undone from inside. If you fry on medium flame Murukku will be cooked evenly and gets crispy.

2. Why did Murukku/Chakli break while pressing?

That means water is less in the dough, so it is breaking. Sprinkle some water to the dough, knead well and try pressing the Murukku.

3. What can be made from rice flour?

Murukku/Chakli is one of the delicious snack can be made using rice flour. However, rice flour can be mixed with other flours like gram flour, urad dal flour etc.

4. Can I bake Murukku/Chakli?

Yes, definitely you can bake them instead of deep frying for a healthier version.
