Ribbon Pakoda/ Ribbon Murukku

  This is a simple easy snack and the spiciness can be altered accordingly. I like it with less spicy.

We need only few ingredients

Rice Flour  - 2 cups

Gram flour ( Besan )- 1 cup

salt- 1 tsp 

Chilli powder - 1/4 tsp ( optional)

Turmeric - 1/4 tsp

cumin powder - 1/4 tsp

oil for frying 

     Sieve both the flour and add the chilli powder, turmeric, cumin salt .

Mix the dry ingredients well.

Then  heat 3-4 tbsps oil and add the hot oil to the flour. 

Instead of hot oil , we can add 2 tbsp butter , heat it and add to the flour too (add either oil or butter)

Mix it with a spoon. Then add water little at a time and make it into a smooth soft dough.

Keep the Murukku press with the ribbon murukku slit( it has a single thin slit) in it ready and needed plates and ladle ready before heating the oil for frying 

Put the dough inside the Murukku press and close. Press it directly into the hot oil. 

Take the kadai. Add the oil for frying and heat it in the medium flame

When the oil is hot make the ribbon murukku with the help of the murukku press. 

Be careful and keep the press at the height where the dough falls when you press into the oil without splattering the oil at the same time your hands shouldn't touch the oil or hot kadai.

Fry till it is golden brown, crispy on both sides

Fry till the bubbles reduces and to test it when you press it with the ladle it won't be soft. It will be crunchy.

Now yummy delicious Ribbon Pakoda/ Ribbon Murukku is ready
