Ragi Murukku

Ragi Murukku.. finger millet is one of the healthiest Cereal with loads of vitamins, minerals and fibre in it. Adding it’s flour in daily cooking is good for health, and I try my best in adding it in dosai, idli, puttu, cookies, porridge and now in the super famous murukku.

Murukku is a deep fried crispy snack that is very famous in Tamilnadu. Usually made with rice flour, simple common spices, sesame seeds, this is one delicious crispy snack. I just replaced the rice flour with millet flour and added chickpea flour for extra taste. While I’m not an expert in using the snack press to pipe the dough directly in oil, I used flat wooden ladles to pipe the dough in and then carefully dipped the ladle in the hot oil instead of directly piping in oil like real experts. Shape doesn’t matter when the snack is crispy and yummy..
