Introduction:

No Diwali celebration is complete without a spread of delicious snacks, and one such favorite is the crispy Ring Murukku. These golden, ring-shaped delights are not only a treat for your taste buds but also a symbol of the festive spirit.

The secret to crafting mouthwatering Ring Murukku lies in the perfect blend of ingredients. Each component plays a crucial role in achieving the desired taste and texture of this classic Diwali snack. Here's a closer look at the ingredients that will transform your culinary creation into a delightful treat.

Ingredients:

  1. Rice Flour - 1/2 Cup The primary base for your murukku, rice flour lends that characteristic crispness and lightness to each bite.
  2. Self-Raising Flour/Maida - 1/2 Cup: A touch of self-raising flour or Maida is the key to the murukku's delightful crumble and a slightly soft interior.
  3. Asafoetida - A Pinch: This humble pinch of asafoetida adds a distinctive flavor, enhancing the overall taste of the murukku.
  4. Red Chilli Powder - 1/2 TSP: For a hint of warmth and a subtle kick, red chilli powder adds a depth of flavor to your murukku.
  5. Pepper - 1/4 TSP: A dash of pepper imparts a mild, lingering heat that complements the other spices and elevates the taste.
  6. Cumin Powder - 1/2 TSP: Cumin powder introduces a delightful earthiness to the murukku, rounding out its flavor profile.
  7. Butter (Melted) - 2 Tbsp: Melted butter not only brings a rich and buttery taste but also contributes to the murukku's delightful crunch.
  8. Garlic Paste - 1/4 TSP: The subtle essence of garlic paste enhances the overall aroma and adds a unique dimension to the murukku.
  9. Salt - As Required: Salt is the flavor enhancer that balances all the other spices, making the murukku savory and utterly delicious.
  10. Water - As Required: The key to achieving the perfect dough consistency, water binds all the dry ingredients together to form the base of your murukku.
  11. Oil - For Frying: The medium for transforming your dough rings into golden, crispy delights, frying oil is essential to achieve the desired texture.

These thoughtfully chosen ingredients, when combined in the right proportions, will result in Ring Murukku that not only looks inviting but also bursts with an irresistible blend of flavors and textures. Whether it's for Diwali or any special occasion, this recipe is sure to be a hit with your loved ones.






Method:

  1. 1. Prepare the Dry Mix: Start by swiftly mixing all the dry ingredients together, which includes rice flour, roasted gram flour, urad dal flour, and a pinch of salt. Removing lumps in this step is crucial, and sifting the dry ingredients will ensure that they are well combined.


  2. 2. Add Butter and Garlic Paste: Once the dry mix is lump-free, add the melted butter and garlic paste. These ingredients will not only add flavor but also aid in achieving the perfect texture.


  3. 3. Gradually Add Water: Begin incorporating water little by little into the mixture. Use your hands to mix and knead the dough. The goal is to achieve a consistency slightly looser than that of chapatti dough.


  4. 4. Shape the Rings: At this point, you have two options for shaping the murukku. You can either roll the dough into long strings and make rings with your fingers or use a Murukku achu (a special mold with three holes) to create a lengthy rope on a greased sheet, plastic cover, or a plate. Many find the latter method, using the Murukku achu, easier and time-saving.


  5. 5. Deep Fry the Rings: Heat the oil in a pan for deep frying. Make sure the oil is at a high temperature. Carefully add the rings to the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown, which usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes. Don't forget to flip them to ensure even cooking.


  6. 6. Store and Serve: Once the rings are perfectly crispy and golden, remove them from the oil and drain any excess oil on paper towels. Allow them to cool, and then store them in an airtight container. Your homemade Ring Murukku is now ready to be enjoyed.

Conclusion:

Diwali is a time for spreading happiness and relishing delicious treats, and these homemade Ring Murukku will undoubtedly be a hit with your family and friends. With this easy-to-follow recipe, you can quickly prepare these crispy delights and add an extra dash of joy to your Diwali celebrations. So, light up your Diwali with the golden goodness of Ring Murukku and make this festival even more memorable! ☺️
