Ribbon Murukku
A home-style Kerala dish made with care and the kind of spice knowledge that comes from watching someone else cook it a hundred times. Each step matters, and the result is worth the effort.
Ingredientsfor 4 servings
- 300 g Gram flour Kadalamavu
- 200 g Rice flour
- 1 tsp Red chilly powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Sesame seeds or cumin seeds( ) Ellu (Jeerakam)
- 6 tsp Ghee or butter
- 1/2 tsp Asafoetida (Kayam)
- Oil — for frying
Preparation
Step 1
Mix all the ingredients into a thick paste.
Step 2
Place a large ball of this mixture inside a "murukku achu" and squeeze the achu so that the murukku drops into boiling oil.
Step 3
Turn over until fully cooked and crisp.
Tip
Grinding spices fresh makes a noticeable difference. Pre-ground powders lose their punch within weeks. Buy whole, toast lightly, and grind as you need.
