- Take small quantity of dough and put it in the Murukku Press with Ribbon Pakoda plate and squeeze it in circular motion directly to the hot oil.
- Fry till it becomes crispy and nice golden yellow and not too brown. Take out from oil and store it in a airtight container.
Note:You can add a teaspoon of white til seeds in the flour. Instead of chilli powder, you can use pepper powder also. Instead of ghee/butter, you can add a laddle of hot oil in the flour and make the dough.
Instead of adding more rice flour, we can use 2 cups besan flour and one cup rice flour also. There is no hard and fast rule for ratio of flours for this pakoda.
