Directions

Prepare the Dough

5 minutes

In a mixing bowl, first take the dry ingredients such as besan and rice flour. To this mixture, add ajwain, turmeric powder, pepper powder, salt, butter and oil. Mix well using your fingers. Add water little by little to make a soft dough.

Shape the Murukku

10 minutes

Pour oil into a pan and wait until piping hot. Take a murukku press with a star-shaped hole and put some of the dough. Close the murukulu press and start making chakli/murukulu directly in the oil or on an oiled ladle before transferring to the oil. Fry until golden and crispy on all sides, occasionally flipping in between.
