KAI MURUKKU | GOKULASHTAMI RECIPES
My grandma is an expert in making these “Kai murukku”. She makes it so fast and its will look so elegant when she makes it with ease. My mom too makes kai murukku, but both their style differs a lot. I always loved watching them making it for Gokulashtami. I used to sit and hear all those stories and gossips they both used to talk. My paati also makes murukku in shapes of some small kolams specially for me. They will be so so cute.These home made kai murukkus are so different in flavour and taste than we buy from the shops. I love this home made murukkus for its flavour and unique taste.
I always try my hands in making these murukku when ever I make thenkuzhal or other murukku with little dough reserved for this. Last year for diwali I tried with small portions, but I could not make it thin and hence ended up in chewy and hard murukkus. But this time, I took the recipe from my mom and made this with freshly ground rice flour and indeed got perfect taste,just like my paati/amma’s murukku. By posting this recipe here with video,by no means I am claiming I had learnt making this in a perfect way. Just posting what ever I made/learnt/got. I am sure by practice I can make perfect murukkus,not only in taste but in shapes too very soon

Ingredients: ( Around 25 pieces)
| Raw rice(I used sona masoori) | 1 cup |
| Urad dal flour | 4 –5 tblsp |

| Salt & water | as needed |
| Oil | For deep frying |
Method:

It was a bit difficult to hold my mobile in a hand and do the murukku on the other hand. Hope its clear. Sure by practise I hope to make the swirls perfect in future

Ooomg.you made it today. Wonderful effort. Very crispy too. Speechless
i feel like picking one of those kai murukkus....very crispy and appetizing....nice pictures...
Lovely post raks .. Good one
Hi Raji... mouth watering kai murukku... twisting the murukku in circles is not so easy but you got it perfect... i normally use the idiyappam press to make murukkus... u really have so much of patience & passion for cooking... thumps up :)
woW!!really great n gud job!! very difficult to hold mobile n doing murukku...murukku looks very crispy n perfect!....kalakala raji!!
சூப்பர்ர்,ரொம்ப பொறுமையா செய்துருக்கீங்க..ஒருமுறை செய்து பார்த்தேன் சரியா வரல...அப்புறம் அதை சீடையாக்கி சுட்டேன்.இப்போ இந்த முறுக்கை பார்க்கும்ப்போது களத்துல குதிக்கலாம்னு முடிவு பண்ணிட்டேன்.
I've seen people make the murukku so fast that even trying it seemed impossible.You seem to have mastered the art so well.Kudos to you!
Awesome work !! U have made the swirls soo perfectly:-) Lovely clicks!!
These look crunchy and delicious, the video is so helpful.
Raji, just beautiful. It bursts only when you don't sieve the flour and there are sand particles in the dough. It happened to me when I made seedai the first time. The walls were splashed with oil. I made a dive out of the kitchen just in time. Also this happens when you use rock salt. always use salt dissolve in water and filter it before pouring in the flour.
Woww.. looks absolutely delicious and tempting..
Looks really superb.... ippave saapidanum pola iruku....

Wow! Loved the murukkus. So perfectly done. I am amazed with your patience. Lovely dear..
Fantastic effort!Congratulations!'Kalyana veettu kalai!''Karuk muruk' murukku!
Looks perfect ...why you say not perfect? I just need these to munch on.
Nice murukku raji! My mom is an expert in making kai-murukku. I haven't started learning it..yours gave me a push! ;) Should try it ASAP! :)
This is so good...bookmarked. Have to try this one for sure...we all love murukku and it is not something that is available here. Wanted to know if it is possible to do with readymade rice flour or is it better to stick to the traditional method to soak the rice and then powdering it.
Crispy & just too tempting murukkus!!!!Bookamrked..Probably would try this way for ashtami!!
