Andhra Murukku









Chegodilu:(Andhra Style)

Chekodi, Ring Murukku, Andhra Murukku. Kara Murukku.

I am not a big fan of 'murukku'. But my Dad likes 'Andhra Style Murukku' so much. And we buy this 'Chegodilu' from all over the city shops for him! Its not that, I won't take a bite or anything...but just won't buy it for myself!! Archana Sweets, Chennai has the best one.:) My mommy never attempted this at home, she always keeps repeating the same Tamil Nadu style 'Thenkozhal', despite Dad likes it or not!!! So, here is my attempt...

Ingredients:

Rice Flour 1 cup
Tymol seeds 1 teaspoon
Cumin seeds 1/2 spoon
Sesame seeds 1/2 spoon
Chili powder - more!!!
Salt
Baking soada 1 pinch
Curry leaves - toasted and crushed
Mung dal - toasted and powdered 1 fistful (I didnt use it tho')
Oil for deep frying.

Method:

Mix all the above mentioned items(except oil)together...sprinkle warm water and bring them to smooth dough. Run few spoons of oil if necessary.

Now, divide them into equal parts...make them as shown in the picture. Deep fry in hot oil.

Enjoy with your tea.:)

The stage by stage pics are really good Malar. Even my Mom never made this at home and I first had these when a friend of mine got them from India last year. They were pretty spicy and made for a great snack!
