Ragi butter murukku| Finger millet murukku, crispy murukku using ragi| finger millet flour, perfect for Deepavali. I have tried savory recipes using ragi flour. Though they turn out crispy, somehow I feel the slightly bitter taste after tasting the murukku. Even I have tried murukku using millet flour like samai, thinai, and varagu. I have never tried the traditional way of making flour, using store-bought flour only. Today I tried Ragi butter murukku by adding some rice flour to it. It was very crunchy and bitter taste was not there in this murukku. I don’t say it is a healthy version of murukku, as we add millet flour to this, but I am sure, it is definitely a different version to try out for this Deepavali.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Ragi flour| Finger millet flour
  • ½ cup Rice flour
  • ½ cup Besan | kadalai maavu
  • ¼ cup Pottu kadalai | roasted gram
  • 1 tsp Cumin seeds
  • Salt as needed
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • Oil for deep frying
  • Asafoetida a generous pinch

Instructions

  • Grind the pottukadalai into a fine powder. Pottukadalai is a roasted gram, we use for making coconut chutney.
  • No need to roast the pottukadalai.
  • In a wide bowl add the rice flour, ragi flour, besan flour, and pottukadalai flour.
  • Add the cumin seeds, salt, and asafoetida.
  • Add melted butter to this.
  • Mix well and add water little by little and make a soft crack-free dough.
  • I used the single-star achu.
  • Put a portion of the dough into the murukku press.
  • Heat the oil and once it becomes hot, bring the flame to medium.
  • Just squeeze it into the oil.
  • If you want to make it as mullu murukku, squeeze it in that way.
  • Generally, butter murukku in stores will be in single sticks only.
  • For ragi murukku you can't make out whether it is done or not by looking at the color.
  • Once the oil sound subsides and the bubbles lessen, take it out from the oil.
  • Drain the excess oil in the kitchen towel.
  • Repeat this for the rest of the dough.
  • If made in bulk, mix the dough in batches, else it will give a sour taste.
  • Murukku stays good for 10 days to 2 weeks if kept in an airtight container.
