Butter Murukku, a tasty, crunchy and flavorful snack made from rice flour. Actually i'm looking forward to this diwali season to make all the sweets and savories, it doesn't mean i won't make it on other time, but it kind of gives festive feel in your home and i love it. 
I had tried this butter murukku few times before, but couldn't get the correct texture. It was bit hard to bite,but still it was tasty. Later i tried with less quantity of besan & more of fried gram flour and it turned out the way i like it. Super crunchy and absolutely delicious !!! If you're looking for some fool proof recipe to try on this diwali, then here it is.

For more sweets and snacks here, check out here- Use soft butter,so that it will incorporate with the flour well.
- Cove the dough always, it helps to avoid become dry.
- While making pottukadalai flour, make sure that they are fine powder, if it's not sieve it once and use.
- If the pottukadalai flour aren't fine powder,then there is a chance of murukku bursting in the oil, so make sure that they are super fine.
- Squeeze little amount of murukku in the oil at a time, the steam from the oil is very hot, so be careful while squeezing.

ReplyDeleteI love your tip about adding fried gram dal flour.... will try it next time I make chaklis. I too get the texture wrong...it turns out a bit hard or too soft if I add extra butter.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling ashamed while seeing all the murukku recipes that have been posted all these days. I just love murukku and don't want to share it whenever my aunt brings it. We don't get good quality murukku here. Still lazy me, has not dared to try it till now.
ReplyDeleteWant to steal from the pic itself :D
looks yum, perfect snack anytime, the taste of homemade murukku is something different!
ReplyDeleteNice tip about adding fried gram flour. Should try this sometime.
ReplyDeletecan you help me know more about pottukadalai flour,what is it and how to get it / make it?
ReplyDeletePottukadalai flour is nothing but fried gram/roasted chana dal flour. You can get the fried gram dal/pottukadalai/ roasted chana dal from any Indian store, then grind into fine powder in a blender and use it.
DeleteNote: chana dal is not same as roasted chana dal.
This turned out really well. Thanks for the recipe!
