THENKUZHAL ( RICE MURUKKU ) தேன் குழல்

Thenkuzhal is a favorite savory at my place. I have tried with roasted urad dhal powder at home. Saw this in todays samayal in FB using boiled urad dhal. Tried it and it came out so well and crisp.

 

INGREDIENTS

Rice flour - 4 cups

Urad dhal - 1 cup

butter / ghee - 2 tbsp

cumin seeds or seasame seeds - 2 tbsp

hing  / Asafoetida - 1 tsp

salt to taste

METHOD

In a vessel  add the urad dhal , add 2 cups of water and pressure cook for 3  whistles, drain it  and grind to smooth paste by adding little water.

In a wide bowl add 4  cups of rice flour , hing , salt, cumin seeds, butter or ghee and mix it thoroughly. 

Add the grounded urad dhal to that and mix well.

If needed add the drained water from the boiled urad dhal or normal water and make a dough.

Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan and make murukkus using the presser. 

Store it in a air tight container.
