2. Butter Murukku(Chakuli)
3. Ribbon Pakoda(Ribbon Murukku)
4. Thenkulal Murukku(Honey Murukku)

Preparation time:5 min
Cooking time:15 min



Ingredients :

• 1 cups  besan
• 1/4 cup rice flour
• 1/2 tsp salt or as required
• Oil for deep frying.

To grind :

• 2 red chili
• 1 garlic
• 1/2 tsp  black pepper
• 1/2 tsp jeera

Method:

• Grind chilies,garlic,pepper,jeera together with little water to coarse mixture.

• Mix besan,rice flour and salt together .

• Mix the ground mixture to flour mixture.

• Add around 1/4 cup of water to make a dough .

• Roll them and put them in press .

• Heat oil and press the dough like murukku /chakuli directly in oil.

• When the sev turns little brown or the oil stops its noise its ready to jump out .
• Drain them in kitchen towel.

• After it cools down break them coarse and store it in airtight container.
• Best served with tea or for curd rice

Note:

• You can use oota karandi(holed ladle) to make them as well (that is the traditional method i guess ) .By using murukku press it is so easy to prepare .

• .If you wish you can add chili powder instead of red chili .Some even omit  red chili or chili powder .
• You can omit garlic ,but i prefer adding it because we use besan as the main ingredient.
• Don't over cook it then it will be burnt .If you under cook it sev will not be crunchy .
• You can also increase rice flour if you wish the sev to be whiter .
• I used thenkulal press for making this sev.
