Achchu murukku

This is my favorite snack and festival treat.My hubby loves sweet treats and so I made this for him.Hope you enjoy this.

Ingredients:

• Rice Four-1 cup
• All purpose flour -3/4
• Sugar - 1/2 cup
• Oil-for frying
• Sesame seeds-1 tsp
• Cardamom powder- 1/2 tsp optional

Preparation:

• Mix the above ingredients except oil in a bowl.
• Add water little by little and keep mixing the batter until it becomes smooth .
• Make sure that it is not too thick or too runny.
• Heat oil in a pan and keep the murukku mold dipped in the oil.
• The oil needs to be hot enough but not smoky to turn the murukku brown at once.
• Once the oil is hot and the mold is also hot, dip the mold into the batter.
• Make sure that the mold is not dipped fully but three quarters.
• When the mold is dipped, it should make a hissing noise.
• The mold needs to be hot for the batter to stick to the mold.
• Then dip the mold into the oil and the oil will bubble around the mold.
• When the murukku is half done,start shaking the mold gently and the murruku will drop my itself or use a knife or skewer to loosen it from the mold.
• It might take some two or three murukkus to start understanding the exact way that works better for you.So don't panic at the first time.
• Take the murruku out of the oil when golden brown.
• The murukku will harden once it cools.
• Store in a tight container.
