Thengai Paal Murukku Recipe Preparation Steps
Creating the perfect Thengai Paal Murukku at home can be an exciting culinary adventure! This traditional Indian snack, made primarily from rice flour, urad dal, and coconut milk, is not only delicious but also has a unique texture that can be irresistible. To make this delightful treat, start by gathering your ingredients, which typically include rice flour, urad dal flour, grated fresh coconut, sesame seeds, and spices such as cumin and ajwain. To achieve that signature crunch, it’s important to prepare the dough correctly. Combine the rice flour and urad dal flour in a large mixing bowl. Gradually mix in the grated coconut, along with salt and the chosen spices, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed. Finally, add the coconut milk little by little until you achieve a dough that is soft but holds its shape.
Once your preparation is complete, the Thengai Paal Murukku recipe is brought to life by shaping and frying the dough. To shape the murukku, use a special murukku maker or piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Squeeze the dough into circular shapes on parchment paper, ensuring they are not too thick. Meanwhile, heat oil in a deep frying pan. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the shaped murukku into the oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy, which usually takes about 4-5 minutes. After they are cooked, drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Let them cool before serving, and enjoy your homemade Thengai Paal Murukku as a perfect snack for tea-time or festive occasions! With these preparation steps, you can easily create a dish that not only celebrates tradition but also satisfies your snack cravings.
