Poppy Seed Murukku | Cooks JoyWhile making Badushas, I decided to also make murukku since I was anyway heating up oil for deep frying. While glancing through Mallika Badrinath book, I noticed this recipe that was quite different compared to the usual ones I have seen. We add the flour mixture to boiling water and when it cools down a bit, we knead it into a smooth dough. Gram flour also adds a wonderful flavor to the murukkus. Out of all the murukkus that I tried this Diwali, this one has to be the most addictive and tastiest. Kids loved it and the murukkus were gone in no time. Off to the recipe.

Instructions:

Mix the flours and keep aside.

Bring water to a boil and add salt. Turn off the stove and add the flour mixture quickly. Mix with a ladle and add butter. Cover and keep aside.

When the dough is cool enough to handle, add poppy seeds. Using water form a stiff dough.

Load a murukku press with dough. Heat oil. Either form spirals and transfer to oil or form spirals directly in oil.

When the murukkus are done and pale brown, remove from oil. Drain on paper towels. When cooled store in airtight containers.
