Gram Dal Murukku | Pottukadalai Murukku .Here in Singapore you wont get a perfect tamilnadu style murukku.So i make murukku often previously,but in recent day we totally forget to about that.After my hubby's recent trip to India,My LO at the stage to taste more snacks than food,wanted to eat different snacks and bored of repeated snacks.Its healthy and home made.

I have used 5:1 ratio i,e,5 cups rice flour to 1 cup gram dal flour.If you want you can add 1 tbsp of butter | Ghee to increase the taste,but i have added only 1 tbsp of hot oil ,which helps to increase the crispiness.

Sesame Seeds | Ajwain- 1 tbsp

Now using any murukku presser press the murukku in a ladle or press directly to the oil..

Fry the murukku till the oil sizzle stops and drain it into a paper towel.

Keep the murukku in a airtight container to retain the crispiness for long.

Notes:

The ration given here 5:1 ratio.It means for 5 cup rice flour use 1 cup gram dal flour.
I have used store bought idiyappam flour,home made raw rice flour is the best one,but you can try this with normal rice flour too...
You can use white sesame,black sesame ,ajwain, or cumin too.
You can also add redchili powder or home made red chili paste ,pepper powder or garlic as per your preference.
My murukku press hole is very small,so it take only 1 min for each batch to cook.Cooking time may differ depends on the hole size.
