Ring Murukku is a popular South Indian snack which is prepared on the occasion of Diwali. This Ring Murukku is also known as Chegodilu in Telugu. The shape of the murukku is small round in shape and this is not kodubale which is popular in Karnataka.
Ring Murukku is prepared mainly using rice flour whereas kodubale is prepared with both rice flour and all-purpose flour. This ring murukku is crispy, airy and crumbles in your mouth without any effort. Kids enjoy this by placing rings in each finger and munch it. Making of ring murukku is time-consuming as we need to make each and every ring separately. If you have helping hands to make ring then you can make this recipe in no time. But this is worth trying at home.
You have to follow this steps to get the best result:
- Once the dough is kneaded properly, close it with a damp cloth in order to avoid dryness.
- Make all the rings at a stretch and keep it ready. Also, cover the prepared ring with a damp cloth so that it doesn’t get dried.
- If the prepared dough is too thick you will not be able to make the shape and the dough starts to break. If the prepared dough is very soft you will be able to make rings but while frying it drinks lots of oil. So keep the dough in chapati dough consistency.
- Once all the rings are ready, heat oil and cook rings in batches. Do not overcrowd.
- Cook the rings on medium-low flame until both sides turn crispy.
