    6. In the pan where the oil is already heated, squeeze the dough directly into the pan.
    7. Gently flip it to cook evenly.
    8. Once the sizzling sound and bubbles have completely stopped take it out and break it into pieces.

    For preparing Murukku:

    1. In a wide bowl add one cup rice flour, a quarter cup of urad dal flour, a quarter teaspoon of cumin seeds, salt and a half teaspoon of butter. Knead it into a soft dough by adding water little by little. 
    2. Grease the murukku maker with oil, fill in the prepared dough and squeeze it in murukku shape into the pan with hot oil.
    3. Break it into medium sized pieces and keep it aside.
