Chakli (Venna Murukku) or as ameya calls it Murukku murukku

Ingredients

6-7 cups of rice flour

3/4 cup of Urad flour 9Black gram flour)

Sesame seeds – to taste

Ajwain seeds (carom seeds)

2 4-OZ butter

Water

Salt to taste

OIL to fry ( I take a 25” wok, helps make larger batches)

Mix all ingredients (except water) mix the butter well into the flour. Let it sit aside for 2 hrs.

Heat the oil, while its heating up, mix water into the flour. The consistency of the dough is tad more wet than a dough that can be rolled.

You will know if the oil is hot, by adding a small piece of dough. It will rise to the surface.

I make the shapes on the side on a paper towel so that the extra water is absorbed. Then I put them in the hot oil. The chaklis are done once the bubbles in the oil stop.
