Take a star mould in the Murukku press, and fill the press with the dough.

Take a greased plate or ladle, and make the shapes. If the dough breaks or cuts while pressing, sprinkle a little water to make it sticky. The shapes will come out perfectly.

Fry the Murukku

Duration icon5 minutes
Heat the oil to deep fry the Murukku. Add a pinch of dough to the oil, and if it rises to the top immediately, the oil temperature is perfect for frying. Now, drop 2-3 Murukkus per batch. Fry both sides till the bubbles are not formed. Ensure that the flame is medium, otherwise the Murukku will become black.
