Butter Murukku | Easy Butter Murukku Recipe – Diwali Snack

Butter Murukku is one of the easiest recipes prepared at the time of festivals. This snack is very easy and simple to prepare. It’s a crunchy and crispy savory with buttery flavor, which can be had as an evening snack with tea/coffee. The murukku has many variations, based on the types and proportions of flours used.

Butter Murukku is prepared easily using any store-bought rice flour. No need to grind rice as we do it for other murukku recipes. Use any branded Idiyappam flour or Puttu flour to make this snack. This snack is so soft that it can not be squeezed into the shape of a murukku. While pressing in the oil it automatically splits into small pieces as you see in the above picture.

Steps to make Butter Murukku :

• Use branded rice flour to make this snack.
• Use good quality butter to get a nice flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Rice flour Idiyappam flour
• 2 tbsp Bengal gram flour Kadalai maavu
• 2 tbsp Roasted gram flour Pottukadalai maavu
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 tsp Sesame seed/Ellu
• 1/2 tsp Chili powder
• 1/4 tsp Asafoetida/hing
• salt to taste
• oil to deep fry

Servings: people

Instructions

1. Place all the ingredients needed. Dry grind roasted gram to a fine powder. The murukku press, star shaped hole, shown in the picture is used to make butter murukku.

   
2. Sieve rice flour, Bengal gram flour, and roasted gram flour separately and transfer to a wide bowl. Add butter, sesame seed, chili powder, hing, and salt to taste. Mix it thoroughly as shown.

   
3. Then add water little by little and make a smooth dough. It should be neither stiff nor too soft. Grease murukku press with oil and fill 3/4th with dough.

   
4. Now heat the oil. If you put a pinch of batter it should raise immediately. Now set the flame to medium-slow. Press the dough directly into the oil. Press in a scattered way so that it does not stick with each other. Now gently stir the murukku until golden brown and the bubble stops, flip to the other side and stir it until golden brown. Repeat the process for the entire dough.

   
5. Once done remove it and place it on a kitchen towel. Let it cool. Store it in an airtight container.

   

Recipe Notes

• If you feel the dough is getting dry and not able to press, sprinkle little water and mix it thoroughly.
• Always keep the dough closed with a cloth or lid to prevent it from getting dried.
• Use only the specified amount of Bengal gram powder and roasted gram powder.
• You can either use black sesame seeds or cumin seeds. I used white sesame seeds.
