Finger millet snacks – Ragi Murukku recipe with step by step pics
1.Firstly, lets roast the fried gram until aromatic. just for few seconds. Need not brown them. Take it in a bowl. cool and blend it to super fine powder. Keep it aside until use.
2. In the same pan, dry roast ragi flour until aromatic. It takes around 1-2 minutes on medium heat. Immediately, transfer it to a sieve and sieve it to a large mixing bowl or plate.
3. Sieving step is important for a melt in mouth murukku. So do not skip it. It makes the dough lighter. Thus making it crispier. Also add the powdered fried gram to the sieve. Sift it as well.
4.Next is rice flour. Sift it to the same bowl. Add salt to taste and large pinch of asafoetida.
5. Further add chilli powder and white sesame seeds. For Murukku we add black sesame but for ragi, since its dark in color – white sesame seeds will make it more attractive. Add a tbsp butter (Full scoop). crumble the butter and flour well.
6. Once the butter is well blended and crumbled with flour. add water little at a time and mix to a soft dough. Adding too much water will result in a soggy murukku. very less moisture, then the flow will be improper. So just enough would do. I added approximately 1/2-3/4th cup water.
7. Take the press with star shaped hole. fill it with dough and secure it tight.
8. Heat oil until its high heat. Put the flame to medium now and start pressing/ swirling the murukku maker for the dough to drop in oil. leave enough space and drop the dough all over the oil. Do not overcrowd it. Let it cook undisturbed until the sizzling of oil reduces.
9. Turn sides and cook until firm. Drain it to a paper towel.
