Mullu Murukku | Chakali| Magizhampoo is a crispy snack which we usually make for diwali or janmashtami. Last time during my trip to India, my mom made the flour and packed for me. But unfortunately due to slight excess in the size of baggage i have to leave this at home. I never thought of making flour for this at home in the mixer(mixie) , but when i tried making yesterday it turned out pretty well .

Here comes the recipe for mullu murukku:
Pictures Updated
INGREDIENTS:(TO MAKE THE FLOUR)
THIS MAKES 4 CUPS OF FLOUR
RAW RICE | 3 CUPS |
CHANNA DAL | 1/4 CUP +1 TBLSP |
YELLOW MOONG DAL | 1/2 CUP |
SOFTENED BUTTER | 1/2 TSP |
OIL | FOR DEEP FRYING |
WATER | TO KNEAD THE DOUGH(1/2 CUP APPROX.) |
SESAME SEEDS(ELLU) | 1/4 TSP |
ASAFOETIDA | 2 PINCHES |
SALT | AS NEEDED |
METHOD:
For the flour:
- Dry roast the moong dal and channa dal together till nice aroma comes.(for 3-5 mins in medium flame)
- Do not get it burnt.
- When it is cool, grind this along with raw rice in a mixie.
- Sieve this and again powder this ,till it turns out into a smooth flour.
- The mixer may get over heated. Making flour in mixer in advisable for small quantities.
- If you stay in a place where you have flour mill, then half of the job is done.
- Spread the flour in a plate and store it in a airtight container.
- The flour is ready to use.
- Add the flour, butter, salt, sesame seeds, asafoetida in a wide mouthed vessel.
- Add water to make this into a soft pliable dough.
- Take a handful of dough and place this in a murukku presser.
- Use this aachu for mullu murukku.Or you can use the 3 stars one also.
- Heat the oil till it becomes hot.
- Make a round shape in a laddle and just transfer it to the oil.
- When it sizzling sound subsides take this out from the hot oil and drain the excess oil in the kitchen towel.
- Repeat this process for the remaining dough.
- Store them in a airtight container and enjoy crispy murukku with hot tea.
Tips:
- The texture of the flour depends on how nice your mixer is.
- If it is not ground properly this will not come in round shapes.
- You can directly make rounds in the oil as I did for Thenkuzhal.
- If making circles in ladle,ensure that it it not hot. Else will stick to the ladle.
- Do not keep the oil in low flame.
can we use readymade flour ? after that we can roast the flour together/? does it work.
ReplyDeleteYou can use readymade riceflour and besan, but do you get moongdal flour in stores.if yes you can try just sieve all the flour 2 to 3 times to ensure even mixing

ReplyDeletecan we use store bought rice flour and just add roasted powdered dal to it to make the flour? If yes, what will the proportion of arisi maavu be? Love your recipes!!! Thanks for posting
ReplyDeleteHi
DeleteYou Can use store bought rice flour too. 1 cup of raw rice yields 1and 1/4 cup flour approx. No need to roast the flour. But sieve it twice with dal powders to ensure even mixing.
what is the proportion of store bought rice flour to the powdered roasted dals as you have listed above? 1 cup raw rice likely does not equate with 1 cup rice flour. Also, you dont have to roast the rice flour, right? Love your recipes!!! thanks for posting
ReplyDeleteHI,
ReplyDeleteWANT TO KNOW IF I CAN USE VANASPATI OR A LADLE OF HOT OIL TO MIX THE FLOURS INSTEAD OF BUTTER?
RAJI.
Yes you can use oil or vanaspathi instead of butter
Deletehi,
ReplyDeletefew years back i made thenkuzhal. I had put sesame seeds and it burst spreading the oil all over my hands, luckily did not affect my face. the scar is still on my right hand. hence i am scared to use sesame seeds. did you wash the same or just added like that. or the fried one you used.kindly let me know will be helpful.
raji ramakrishnan.
For thenkuzhal generally it never happens, only seedai only splutters, first time hearing this.
DeleteBut i normally take it out from the fridge(normally i keep sesame seeds in fridge) and just put int he flour and knead the dough.No need to wash or fry.
Anyway will get back to u in this same post after calling my mom reg this burst
Hi Jeyashri
DeleteIt happened to me also, while doing murukku. My mom said its because, the jeeragam should be crushed with hands and put in flour, otherwise it splutters.
what is softened butter? Is it the butter in room temperature? please clarify.
DeleteYes it is butter at room temparature
DeleteTHANKS. ADVANCED WISHES FOR A HAPPY DIWALI.
ReplyDeleteRAJI.
thanks a lot and wish u all the same
DeleteCan we add jeeragam, instead of ellu. we di it in then kuzhal.
ReplyDeleteYou can add jeeragam if you want. Generally we don't add, but i have seen some people add
Deletecan u mention the raw rice brand...
ReplyDeleteI don't use any specific brand. I use the sona moasoori rice which i get in Indian stores here
DeleteHi jeyashri di , myself shruthi, from Bangalore... Thank you so much for your recepies... Easy to make and very simple. Thank you I mentioned abt your recepies to my mom.. She loves to make muruku but the thing is she not getting the right consistency it keeps breaking could you please assist me on the same.. She has used the same ingredients as that you have mentioned.. Request u to please help me on the same
ReplyDeletethe reason may be either the dough will be bit loose or she must have added extra butter. Else the murruku will come out properly. even i made yesterday for janmastami
Deletehow to make white color murukku, i prepared the thenkulal murukku the taste is good but i cant get the color i need to make in white color pls help me
ReplyDeleteThe color if ur particular wash and soak the rice for half an hour and drain the water and dry it in a clean cloth inside the house. Grind this either in the mixer or in the flour mill to a very fine powder. This will give you the white colour murruku
Deletecan we use gram flour rather than channa dal
ReplyDeleteYou can try for sure
DeleteHello ! When you say chana dal, is it pottukadalai or kadalai paruppu ?
ReplyDeleteIts kadalai paruppu rama
DeleteSona masuri rice can be used right?
ReplyDeleteyes can be used
Deletecan we add coconut milk instead of water.
ReplyDeleteYes sure. Just warm the coconut milk before adding. This will give a good texture to the murukku.
