SAGO MURUKKU RECIPE| DIWALI SNACKS RECIPES

 Javarisi-murukku

Sago murukku | Javarisi murukku is a different and crispy murukku variety. I tried this murukku 2 months back. Since i was not so satisfied with the clicks, i thought i will make this again and post this recipe of sago murukku. Try this murukku for Diwali 2014, i am sure everyone will be impressed by the taste of this murukku. I got this recipe from my friend's mother in law. I noted it down long back in my old notebook and happened to see this during navaratri. Check out my other diwali snacks recipes

  • Put it into a murukku press and press it into hot oil.
  • It won’t come as full murukku. I tried this 2 times with 2 different murukku achhus. You can use any achu of your choice.
  • I used a new achu with 4 holes.
  • Heat oil and fry and when the oil sound subsides take them out from oil.

Notes:
  1. Actually in the original recipe aunty told to add green chili paste. If felt that it will be too hot and so added red chilli.
  2. Do not worry about the sago will get struck to the holes in the achu. It will come smoothly.
  3. Just mash it nicely with your hands before adding the flour.
  4. As yogurt is added you can add little more chilli powder also.
  5. If the sagois not soaked properly it will burst in oil. Ensure it is soft

  3. Hi, I tried this interesting recipe. The taste was awesome.
    I had issue with sago bursting in the oil. Any idea how to reduce the bursting? I was concerned as I had a kid at home while doing this, so i kinda of stopped with one course.

    1. Hi priya,
      Thanks for the feedback. Regarding the bursting, i feel the sago u didn't mash nicely with hands before adding rice flour. Also it should be soaked well else it will burst

    3. I usually grind the sago and mix in the rice flour. That way the shape come out perfect as well in any mould
