Method:

1. In a bowl mix all the ingredients except hot oil and mix well.

2. In a heavy bottom pan heat the oil for deep fry.

3. Now slowly add water and make a soft dough.

4. Add 1 tbsp of hot oil to dough and knead well.Adjust the salt if neccesary.
5. Now add a pinch of dough to check whether the oil is hot enough or not.Always the batter should rise to top as soon as u put in oil.

6. Use any murukku press hold,i used star and prees the murukku in ladle oe press directly to the oil.
7. Flip and cook on both the side til the sizzle sound stops.

8. Drain it in a paper towel.

Notes:

• I used store bought idiyappam rice flour and ragi flour.Use home made rice flour for more crispiness.Click here for how to make home made Rice flour. 
• Feel free to replace spices as of your choice like sesame seeds(ellu),ajwain {omam},cumin(zeera),chillipowder,garam masala ,crushed garlic,g&g paste depends on your creativity
• Always do test on the oil before frying.
• If your murukku batter breaks while pressing then ,it mean you need to add few tsp of water to make it smooth.Usually ragi flour tends to break easily fr most recipe,so its difficult for few to get shapes.If you want to get perfect shape use warm water instead of cool water.
• If your murukku absorb lot of oil then it means more water in the dough,adjust by adding some rice flour
