MAIDA MURUKKU(CHAKLI)

MAIDA MURUKKU(CHAKLI)

Murukku can also be made using maida(all purpose flour). It is very easy to prepare. It is as good as the one made using rice flour and delicious too.
Ingredients:
maida-500 gms,
til(sesame)-1 tbsp,
salt to taste,
hing-1/4 tsp,
jeera powder-1 tsp,(optional)
chilli powder-2tsps(optional) and
oil for frying.

Method:
Sieve maida well.
Place the maida in a soft cloth and tie the cloth to seal it from all sides.
Steam it for 30 mts, using a  cooker container.
Allow it to cool down.
Press it with hands to bring it to powder form.
Sieve again or blend in a mixer, so that no lumps are left.
Mix the cooked maida powder, til,   jeera powder, chilli powder and the salt and knead well, using water.
The dough should not be too watery or too hard. It should pass throgh the chakli machine smoothly.
Make murukkus(chaklis) on a newspaper, using the chakli machine.
Heat oil in a pan and deep fry the murukkus till they become crisp.
Ten/Twelve murukkus can be fried at a time.
On getting cooled, store them in an airtight container.
