How is Jagiri Murukku Made?
Jagiri Murukku is prepared by combining crispy deep-fried murukku with a rich jaggery syrup, which coats each piece, giving it a sweet and slightly sticky texture.
Step-by-Step Preparation:
- Make the Dough – Rice flour, urad dal flour, and a little butter/ghee are mixed into a dough.
- Deep Fry Murukku – The dough is shaped into coils or sticks and deep-fried until crispy.
- Prepare Jaggery Syrup – Jaggery is melted with water to create a sticky, caramel-like coating.
- Coating the Murukku – The fried murukku is tossed in the jaggery syrup until fully coated.
- Cooling & Storing – The murukku is allowed to cool, creating a crunchy sweet coating.
