Preparation Steps
For preparing Thenkuzhal flour:
- Rinse and dry three cups of raw rice at room temperature.
- Dry roast one cup of urad dal for a few seconds only until it heats up.
- Grind this 4:1 ratio of raw rice and roasted urad dal. It is better to grind in milling machinery than a household mixer.
- This nicely ground flour should be sieved and can be stored in an airtight container for around 6 months.
For preparing Thenkuzhal:
- Take a large bowl, add around two cups or as required Thenkuzhal flour, salt, butter and knead by adding water little by little.
- Knead it into a stiff dough.
- Take a heavy bottomed pan, add oil as required for deep fry and heat it at medium to high flame.
- Roll the dough, take a medium sized portion and fill the murukku maker/mould with the prepared dough.
- Once the oil is heated, lower the flame to medium and start preparing Thenkuzhal.
- It can be squeezed directly into the oil or squeeze on a spatula first and then gently drop it into the oil.
- You can add more than one at a time based on the pan capacity/size.
- Flip them to cook evenly on both sides. If the bubbles have stopped, take it out and place it on a strainer or tissue paper to remove excess oil.
- Store them in an airtight container and it can stay crisp for over a week.
