Potato murukku
Method:

  • In a wide bowl add the rice flour or idiyappam flour and add the mashed potato.
  • For mashed potato cook the potato in pressure cooker for 6-7 whistles. Peel the skin and mash it with a fork.
  • I used a medium sized potato for this.
  • Add salt, red chili powder, asafoetida and cumin seeds to this.
  • Add melted butter and 2 tsp of hot oil to this.

  • Heat oil for deep frying. When it is hot bring it to medium flame.
  • Squeeze the murukku directly to the oil.
  • Once one side is cooked flip the murukkus. Do not flip when it not cooked on one side.
  • This will be very soft and break , and will not hold shape.

Notes:
  1. Add red chili powder more if you want it more spicy.
  2. You can add omam| ajwain instead of cumin seeds.
  3. Mash the potatoes nicely before adding to flour, else it will get struck while pressing in the murukku press.
  4. If the murukku is breaking in the oil and doesn’t hold shape, the dough may be too dry. Sprinkle little water to the muruku dough and knead well.
  5. Keep the dough covered all the time.
  6. If making in bulk quantity, make dough in batches.
  7. You can add pepper powder also instead of red chili powder.
