Ingredients
To prepare a batch of around 10 - 15 achu murukku the following are the ingredients needed,- Raw rice flour - 2 cup
- Coconut milk - 3/4 cup (thick)
- Sugar - 1 cup (powdered)
- Egg - 1
- Sesame seeds - 1 teaspoon
- Maida - if required
- Salt - a pinch
- Coconut Oil/any other cooking oil as required for deep fry
Preparation Steps
For achu murukku's batter:- Break the egg into a large bowl and beat it.
- Add the powdered sugar and rice flour. Give it a good mix.
- Add coconut milk little by little and mix well.
- The batter must have a slightly thick consistency that is, not too thick or too runny.
- You can correct the consistency by adding a few tablespoons of maida if it is thin or by adding a little more coconut milk in case, if it is thick.
- Add sesame seeds. This is for extra crunch you can ignore or add more as per your preference.
- Take a heavy bottomed pan and pour coconut oil as much as needed to deep fry murukku.
- Heat the oil at high flame. Place the achu murukku mould in the oil and let it heat too.
- After a few minutes when the mould has heated, dip it into the batter.
- Dip only 3/4th of the mould. If not the murukku won't come out of it.
- Now immerse this mould in the hot oil. You can turn down and maintain at low to medium flame.
- In a few minutes, when the batter has started to fry it will remove itself from the mould. If not, slightly shake or use a fork.
- Once it starts frying and the colour has changed a little, flip it with a fork or spatula so that it is evenly cooked.
- You can wait until it has turned golden brown and take it out once it is done.
- Place them on tissue paper or a strainer to drain the excess oil.
- Repeat the process for the remaining batter. Continue with low flame. Make sure you heat the mould by immersing it in the pan every time before you dip it into the batter or else the batter won't stick to the mould and the perfect shape won't be possible.
- Once done it can be stored in an airtight container and can enjoy the fresh crispness for over a week.

Achu Murukku Recipe Preparation Steps
Achu Murukku, a delightful Indian snack, is a must-try for anyone who enjoys crispy, savory treats. The process of making Achu Murukku can seem daunting at first, but with the right Achu Murukku recipe preparation steps, you can create this delicious snack in your own kitchen. Begin by gathering your ingredients, which typically include rice flour, urad dal flour, and a selection of spices to enhance the flavor. The preparation involves mixing the flours with water to form a smooth dough, which is then flavored with spices like sesame seeds, cumin, and salt. The key to achieving the perfect texture lies in making sure the dough is neither too stiff nor too loose. Once you have your dough ready, it’s crucial to heat your oil to the right temperature for frying, as this will ensure your Achu Murukku comes out crispy without being greasy.
Following the correct Achu Murukku recipe preparation steps is essential for ensuring your snack is not only delicious but also satisfying to make. After preparing the dough, utilize a traditional mold or the Achu Murukku maker to shape the murukkus before frying. The right shape and size can greatly affect the frying time, so it’s important to keep them uniform for even cooking. Fry the murukkus in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, which can lower the oil temperature. As they fry, you’ll notice a beautiful golden-brown color developing, signaling that they are ready to be removed. Once drained, allow them to cool completely before serving. This process ensures that your homemade Achu Murukku achieves that perfect crunch. Enjoy your crispy snacks as a delicious accompaniment to tea or as a savory treat during festivities!
