Round Murukku

How is Round Murukku Made?

Round Murukku is made using finely ground rice flour, which is mixed with urad dal flour, cumin seeds, sesame seeds, and a hint of asafoetida (hing). The dough is shaped into spirals using a murukku press and deep-fried in hot oil until golden brown.

Step-by-Step Preparation:

Preparing the Dough – Mix rice flour, urad dal flour, sesame seeds, cumin, and hing with warm water to form a soft dough.
Shaping the Murukku – The dough is placed in a murukku press (chakli maker) and shaped into spirals.
Deep Frying – The shaped murukkus are fried in hot oil until crispy and golden brown.

Taste & Texture

Round Murukku has a light, airy crunch with a mildly salty and nutty flavor from the sesame and cumin seeds. Unlike besan-based murukku, the rice flour gives it a smooth, crisp texture that melts in the mouth.
