INGREDIENTS :
- Cooked Rice – 1 cup
- All purpose flour or Besan flour – 1 cup
- Red chilly powder – 1/2 to 1 tsp

- Transfer this rice paste to a medium sized mixing bowl.
- To this add all purpose flour, red chilly powder, asafoetida and salt and knead well to make a dough in the consistency of soft and pliable chapathi dough. Apply little oil in your hand while mixing to avid sticking it in your hand. Knead well to form a soft non-sticky dough. If needed, you can add more all purpose flour to get the correct consistency. Check for the salt.
- Heat oil in a saucepan/kadai for deep frying. Check the oil for the right temperature by dropping a very small ball of the dough, it should sizzle up. If it sinks into the oil, you need to wait for a few more minutes for the oil to heat up.
- Now take a handful of dough and place it in murukku presser and squeeze directly into the oil in a circular fashion to avoid overlapping.
