Easy Rice Flour Murukku Recipe Indian | Diwali Snack Recipes
Rice Flour Murukku recipe which I am going to explain today is one of the easiest snacks which can be prepared with rice flour and other regular kitchen ingredients. Learn how to make rice flour murukku recipe with our step by step image instructions along with tips and a video.
In another variant, we can add besan flour along with rice flour in small quantities but the pure rice flour recipe is crisp in texture. I have added fresh butter to our recipe to get a mild soft and hollow texture. Murukulu recipe is one of the soft and crispy evening snacks which Telugu-speaking people love to eat as tea time snacks.
Many of us get the hard texture and sometimes they even do not get hollow inside, this is because we do not add an adequate amount of butter or oil while preparing the dough. Not just oil or butter even kneading dough also makes a change.
Once kneading is done, we need to put a wet cloth over the dough when we are making it in large quantities so as to keep the dough soft, if not murukku may break. My suggestion to get the perfect rice flour murukku recipe is to use fresh and soft rice flour for which we can sieve.
Tips to make perfect Rice Flour Murukku Recipe:
- Adding red chili powder will make this recipe look mild reddish, if you want whitish we can add green chili paste.
- If you do not have fresh butter, we can even add salted/ unsalted butter. If you are using salted butter then we need to adjust salt as per your taste.
- While mixing flour it’s a good idea to use a spoon as butter/ hot water might burn your hands.
- To check whether the oil is ready or not put a small piece of dough, if it rises immediately then the oil is ready, or else let it reach optimum temperature.
- Store in an airtight container only when they cool down or else they may lose their crispiness.
- If you are not comfortable pressing directly into oil then take a plate and grease it with a little hot oil and press on it. Later transfer rice flour murukku reciope to oil once you have the required murukulu shape and size.
