Ingredients
The following are the ingredients needed to prepare a quantity of around ten ragi muruku,
- Ragi flour - 1 cup
- Rice flour - 1/2 cup
Before starting the preparation, it is optional to dry roast ragi flour and rice flour separately in low flame only until the aroma kicks in.
- Roasted urad dal flour - 1/4 cup
- Cumin seeds or white sesame seeds or both as per your preference - 1/2 teaspoon (each)
- Chilli powder - 1/2 teaspoon
- Asafoetida/Hing - 1 pinch
- Salt to taste
- Butter or ghee - 2 teaspoon
- Water to mix the dough
- Oil for frying.
Preparation Steps
- Take a large bowl, add the three flours - ragi, rice and urad dal, cumin seeds or sesame seeds, chilli powder, asafoetida, salt and butter. Mix them well.
- Now add water little by little and knead the contents into a smooth dough.
- Once the smooth dough is ready take the muruku mould, grease them with ghee and fill it with the dough.
- Take a pan, add enough oil to deep fry and let it heat at a medium flame.
- Once the oil is hot, squeeze the dough in the twisted round shape of muruku into the pan. For beginners, to get a better shape you can squeeze the dough on a plate or spatula first and then drop it into the oil.
- While it is frying, flip the ragi murruku so it is evenly cooked.
- As the ragi is naturally brown in colour be cautious while you deep fry and make sure you do not over/under fry it.
- Once the sizzling sound and bubbles stop you can take it out and transfer it to a plate. Hot and crispy ragi murruku is now ready to eat.
