Minapapu Murukulu
These murukulu or chaklis are so tasty children will love them. The only difficult thing is getting the flour ready. I know it is quite difficult in these busy schedules to get time to make such elaborate dishes. But these are worth it believe me.
Ingredients
- 4 glasses Rice raw
- 1 glass Urad Dal
- 4 tbsp Sesame Seeds
- 1 tbsp Cumin Seeds
- 11/2 tbsp Salt
Instructions
-
Wash and soak the rice for 4 hours in water then throw away the water.
-
The rice should be dried in the sun till it gets completely dry. Those in appartments can leave them in big plates in balconies to dry.
-
Then take a big kadai and dry fry the urad dal till a tasty aroma comes and then both the rice and urad should be ground into fine powders.
-
My mother used to send them to the grinding mill near my house. If the quantity is less you can grind in the grinder in your house itself.
-
Once the powders are ready take them in a big plate and add sesame seeds, cumin seeds, salt and 5 tbsp Butter and a little heated oil and knead the dough adding a little water at a time.
-
The dough should be like the chapathi dough.
-
Now take a big kadai fill 3/4 of the kadai with oil and when the oil is heated take the chakli press and put the required batter into the barrel and press into the oil making small rounds. Don't over crowd them or they will not fry evenly.
-
When they are fried well remove them from oil and place them on a news paper so that the paper absorbs the excess oil. When they cool store them in airtight containers.
