Poondu/Garlic Murukku

This is a very flavorful murukku which is my kiddo's favorite and whenever I ask him for any snack his reply will be murukku(mukkuru thats how he pronounces).As murukku is a favorite for kids thought it would be a good choice for kids back to hostel food.
This one is made with roasted gram dhal(pottukadalai) powder or  gram flour(kadalamaavu/besan) along with rice flour.Garlic and red chilly paste is the highlight of this murukku which gives a very nice flavor.My mom uses curry leaves along with the garlic and red chilly but I didn't have fresh curry leaves I avoided.Here is the recipe..............................


Ingredients

IngredientQuantity
Rice flour/arisimaavu3cups
Kadalamaavu/besan1cup
Butter/vennai2tbs
Hot oil1tbs
Garlic/poondu 4-5cloves
Redchilly/varamilagai 5nos.
Salt2tsp
Oilfor frying


Method 
  • Grind the garlic and red chilly to a fine paste and keep it aside.Heat a pan with oil and keep it in a medium flame.
  • Sieve the flours and take it in a bowl,add salt to it.To this add the ground paste,hot oil,butter and mix it to a dough with water.
  • Fill the murukku press with the prepared dough with the single eyed star disc.Squeeze it into a circular motion and make the spirals as shown on a plate or paper or a rolling board.
  • Drop the spirals in the hot oil and cook it in a medium flame till the sizzling sound ceases or till golden.Drain it on a paper towel.
  • Store it in an airtight container after it cools completely.

 Enjoy...................................................................


  • This murukku doesn't need cumin seeds or sesame seeds,as the flavor of the garlic is enough.
  • Grind the garlic and red chilly to a very fine paste otherwise pass it through a strainer if it is not grind properly.
  • Instead of making spirals it can be directly squeeze into the oil.

  29. It was at this time that the earliest sandwich maker which was nothing more than two concave, square pieces of cast iron was used to put the sandwich in and then held over coals or flames until the sandwich cooked. sandwich machine
