Maida mullu thenkuzhal

 

 I tried this Maida Mullu thenkuzhal for navarathri neivedhyam. It came out really well. very easy and tasty recipe... 

Moving on to recipe:

Ingredients:

• Maida - 1 cup
• Water
• Butter - 2 tbsp
• Cumin seeds  or sesame seeds  - 2 tsp
• Asafoedita
• Salt
• Oil for frying

  Method:

• Take maida and place it ina cloth/ idly cloth. Keep in steamer for 10- 12 mins.

• When it is done , it forms like a lump shown in the pic...

•  Transfer it into a plate spread it and allow it to dry for 2 hrs.

• Sieve the dried flour. If you find any lumps or small balls, you can knead it with your hands and sieve it.

•  Add the maida, cumin seeds, salt asafoedita and butter and knead it into a soft dough using water. ------>

•  Split the dough into parts and fill into the murukku press.

•  I have chosen star mould for mullu thenkuzhal. ---------------->

•  Take a ladle and press the mould onto the ladle and make into murukku shape. ------------------>

 

• Heat a pan of oil, place the ladle into the hot oil. Murukku will slowly drift inside the oil. place it till it goes into oil by itself.

• Drain it and store it in a air tight container.
