– Fry the rice flour until slightly warm. The rice flour should not change color. It should just get a little warm. – Fry the ullutham paruppu / urad dal until golden brown. I made a large batch to use for later.
– Let it cool down and then grind it into a smooth powder. Sieve the powder and keep it aside. – In a large bowl, add the rice flour, urad dal flour, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, ajwain, asafetida, salt and butter.
– Now add water slowly and make stiff, but soft dough. Keep it covered until ready to use. – Heat oil in a kadai and start shaping the murukkus on a plate.
– Gently slide the prepared murukku into hot oil and fry until pale brown. I fried about 4 murukkus at one time. – Now go back and fry all the half fried murukku in batches.
– Let them cool down completely before storing in an air tight container.
