Ingredients
1 cup Rice flour
1/4 cup Maida
1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
1 cup Coconut Milk
1 tsp Til seeds (Ellu) (Optional)
Salt – a pinch
Oil – for deep frying
Directions
- Sieve both rice flour and maida. Put it in a bowl. Add powdered sugar, salt and til seeds. Mix well.
- Add coconut milk and make a batter. If required you can add little water. The batter should be like dosa batter consistency. Ensure that the batter should not be too thick or too thin.
- Heat oil in a kadai.
- Place the mold in the hot oil for a minute. Take out the mold and dip half of the mold into the batter and again put the mold in the hot oil.
- After few minutes, if you shake the mold the murukku will come out from the mold or using a fork just lift it from the mold and fry till it is crisp. Finish all the batter like this.
