Ingredients

  • Medium rava or chiroti rava- 1 cup
  • Grated coconut- 1/2 cup
  • Wheat flour- 2 tsp
  • Cumin seeds- 1/2 tsp
  • Coriander seeds- 1 tsp
  • Salt- 3/4 tsp
  • Red chillies- 2 no.
  • Curry leaves- Few
  • Cooking oil- Enough to deep fry

Instructions

Preparation

  • Put grated coconut, cumin, coriander seeds, red chillies and curry leaves in a mixer and grind to make fine paste. Don't add any water to grind.
  • Next transfer the ground paste to a wide bowl. Add rava, wheat flour and salt to this. Combine everything well. Add water in steps, little by little and make pliable dough. I used up almost 1/2 cup water.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth for about 10 minutes. Next add 4 tsp of hot oil to the dough and knead once again.
  • Next pinch lemon sized dough and roll between your palms to shape like a rope. Join both ends together to form a ring. Repeat this process with rest of the dough. Heat enough oil in a wok and deep fry the ring murukku in batches. When they turn little brown remove from oil and drain.
  • Shree Krishna Janmashtami special rava ring murukku is ready.

Notes

  • You can substitute red chillies by green ones.
  • The dough should be stiff and not loose. If the dough has turned too stiff, you can sprinkle a tsp of water.
  • To check the oil temperature, drop a small pinch of dough. If it raises to top immediately, the temperature is right. Keep the flame in medium heat and deep fry the murukku.
  • Get the ring murukku ready in batches and carefully drop them in to oil. When they are frying, get the next batch ready.
  • Store them in airtight container once they cool down to room temperature. This way crispiness lasts longer.
