Aval murukku | Poha murukku | poha chakli | Pottukadalai murukku prepared with thick flattened rice, store-bought rice flour / Idiyappam flour / arisi maavu, roasted gram flour/  pottukadalai, and butter/ hot oil. Easy instant murukku recipe without any roasting and soaking

Thick or thin aval?

I have used thick flattened rice but you can also use thin or red aval

Should I roast pottukadalai?

No, you need not roast pottukadalai for the murukku. 

Should i soak aval and pottukadalai?

I have washed poha hence I soaked and grinded them. if you are skipping this step, fine powder both and knead murukku dough.

Can I skip carom seed?

I have used Carom seems for extra flavor. Instead, you can use black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds, or cumin seeds according to your preference.

Can I skip butter for murukku?

Little butter gives a nice texture and taste to the murukku thenkuzhal recipe. But if you are planning to make vegan murukku skip the butter and use 1 tablespoon oil instead of butter. Personally, I like butter flavor hence I add in my all savory like seedai, thattai, ribbon. Avoid adding more butter as it will affect murukku texture. Murukku might disintegrate.

What should be the consistency of pottukadalai murukku dough?

Tight dough makes it difficult to press through the mold, it will cause murukku to break while it is pressed through the press. Also with too much water in the dough, chakli will absorb a lot of oil while frying Also murukku won't retain the shape. Make the right consistency of pliable dough

How to check if the oil is at the right temperature?

Check the oil temperature by adding a small piece of the dough. If the dough comes up gradually and steadily on top, the oil is hot enough to fry. If it comes up too quickly, then the oil is too hot. Simmer and adjust to the right temperature. If it settles down at the bottom of Kadai or comes up very slowly, the oil is not hot enough, so increase the heat.

Shelf Life for murukku

Murukku stays fresh and crispy for up to 2 weeks. Always store in a clean airtight container. I prefer to keep them in stainless dhabba. Let the murukku cool completely then close with the lid.

How to achieve the cream color murukku?

Roasted gram gives an amazing cream color to the murukku.  If you are making a large quantity of murukku make the dough in batches to avoid browning. If the dough is kept for a long time murukku will turn brown. Also, avoid heating the oil too high as it might affect the murukku color and taste.

Can I add chili powder?

Traditionally butter murukku is prepared without chilli powder to retain the color and taste. However, you can add fine chilli powder/ pepper powder according to your taste.
