Yeah I made the yummy snack muruku first time in my life… thanks to Srivalli and Indian Cooking Challenge... and that too Sago muruku no less π it was yummy and I think it came out decently well… though I was not very happy with the first one I made… the thick one in the photo below, the inside of it was not as crisp as it should have been. Then I changed the mold and made the thick sev like ones, they came out perfect. Wondering why? Anyone has a clue?
so here is the recipe I followed given by Srivalli… my comments as usual in blue π
Sagu Biyyam Muruku / Sago Muruku
Ingredients
- Rice FlourΒ 2 cups
- Besan flourΒ 1/2 cup
- Fried gram flour – 1/2 cup
- Sago – 1/2 cup
- Salt to taste
- Curd – 50 gms (half of half cup) I used the store bought amul butter milk rather than making butter milk at home
- Chilli powder – 1/2 tsp or as per taste
Special Utensil
Muruku Achu
Method
- Soak Sago in Butter milk for 3 hrs, please ensure that you soak it enough else you may risk having the sago burst. (I soaked it overnight but somehow the stupid sago I had was not softening at all so I grinded it a little along with the butter milk)
- Mix all the flour together, heat 50 gms oil (u know I forgot this π¦ may be that was the reason the thick ones were not as crisp?), mix to the flour along with salt and chili powder. Then add the buttermilk soaked sago slowly and knead to a chapati dough consistency
- Heat oil for deep frying.In the muruku achu, add the dough. When the oil is hot, press down directly as as murukus. (I tried doing this though it was happening, I was feeling the direct oil heat too much to bear, so I made them on the polythene and then transferred them to the oil)
- Cook on medium flame to ensure the muruku is cooked well.
Notes:
Ensure sago soaks in buttermilk well and is soft or else it will burst when you press it down in hot oil.
Cook on medium to ensure even cooking.
Fried Gram flour is fried channa dal that is available commercially. It is general sold as the dal, we have to powder it at home. This is also referred as chutney dal as it is used in making coconut chutney.
And they were enjoyed with tea for 2 days before they got fully over
This post is off to ICC and to drool over everyone else’s Muruku go here
Looks yummm!!! π
thank u π
Even I feel like making muruku now :). Maybe today. I need some destressing!
I think it’s because the oil was not very hot! (as you mentioned above). I read somewhere that this is crucial to crispy murukus.
so did u make them?
and my dear i didnt forget to heat oil.. i forgot to put oil all together π
Nice!! π
Do you have that cutter thingy as well with you? For getting teh shapes out?
ok i borrowed that from my neighbor π

u cheater u were supposed to call us as well
i like Murrukus π btw what is that pink colored thing? is it some liquid or the inside of the cup?
oh thats the inside of the cup
If the proprtion of rice:gram flour is a little off mark (gram flour being more) the murukku will be a little less crisp.
Lokks yummy any way. keep up the good work. I am coming to Bangalore to taste your delicious snacks. Not only murukku but your punjabi delights too.
u are most welcome padma… to my blore and to blore π
Looks crunchy & crispy!
It was the other way round for me….I started with the disc that has three holes in it….found it too tough to squeeze out the dough and then switched to the star shaped one which made it much easier.
thats pretty awesome..my challenge would be to make puran polis from scratch…have not dared to attempt it yet..
Hi….looks so yummy and crunchy, well done dear…
Wow muruku looks nice.
Me loves the thought of hot coffee with crunchy murukku :-))))
Looks wonderful Monika..thanks for joining!
