How to make the Butter Murukku
Have Homemade Rice flour ready.
Dry roast the dals separately and allow to cool. Then grind to a smooth powder.
In a wide bowl, mix in the rice flour, dal flour, along with salt, cumin seeds, hing, white sesame seeds and mix well. Slowly sprinkle water and knead to a smooth and soft dough.
Heat a kadai with oil. Once hot, press down the murukkus with the press.
Cook on both sides, drain on a kitchen towel.
Store in an air tight container.
Notes:
If you are using store bought rice flour, roast the flour over hot pan, and then proceed with the dough mixing.
It's better to always crush the spices in your hands before adding to the flour. This way it would not burst out during deep frying.
