Kara Kara, Muru Muru Buttons, a crispy snack which is so simple to make with all available ingredients at home. This Kara Kara Buttons is more like a miniature version of Thattai. But there is a little twist from the conventional thattai. For thattai, we use rice flour, urad dal flour, soaked bengal gram dal and some spices. But for these crispy buttons, in addition to rice flour, we are going to use cooked mixed dal (moong, urad and chana dal) which gives an extra flavor to the buttons. As these buttons are small and crunchy, these Kara Kara Buttons are perfect for Diwali festival for sharing with friends and family.

How to get Perfect Kara Kara Buttons:

  •  Dough Consistency : The dough should be smooth and stiff. We need to make small patties out of the dough so if the dough is sticky it will be hard for us to shape the buttons.
  • Cooked Dal : We need to pressure cook the dals. The dals should be cooked but firm. It should not so watery. If the cooked dals are very dry, we can grind it in mixer grinder
  • Shape & Dry buttons: Make small button shaped patties of the dough and allow the buttons to dry for atleast 5 mins before dropping in hot oil
  • Deep Fry in low flame to get crispy buttons. If the oil is too hot, the buttons will become golden color so quickly and will be crispy at first but becomes chewy later. So fry in low flame till all the bubble in the oil ceases and then take out the crispy buttons

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Homemade Rice Flour 1 Cup - 250ml
  • 1 tbsp Urad Dal
  • 1 tbsp Split Bengal Gram (Channa Dal / Kadalaparuppu)
  • 1 tbsp Moong dal
  • ½ tsp Red Chili Powder
  • a Pinch Asafoetida (Asafetida / Hing)
  • 2 tsp Grated Coconut
  • ¾ tsp Salt Adjust As Needed
  • 2 Cups Oil For Deep Frying

Instructions 

Cooking Dal

  • Take the dals in a vessel. Rinse them in water and pressure cook them allowing 3-4 whistles. We need nicely mashed dal. Once the dal is cooked, mash it nicely and keep it aside

Preparing Dough

  • Take a mixing bowl, add rice flour, mashed dal, salt, red chilli powder, hing, grated coconut and mix well. Add water little by little and knead it to a nice and stiff dough

Shaping Buttons

  • Take a clean white towel and spread it on the floor. Make small gooseberry sized balls out of the dough place it in the towel. Using your thumb, press each ball in the middle to make it flat like a button. Do not press too much. The buttons should be small and little thick.

Deep Frying Process

  • Repeat the step for the rest of the dough. Let the buttos dry for couple of minutes in the towel. Meanwhile, heat oil in a pan, when the oil is hot enough, gently add 10-12 buttons to the oil.
  • Deep fry the buttons in low flame till they are crispy and turn to golden brown color. Keep the flame low while frying, because the buttons are little thick and hence needs more time to deep fry them.  Take the crispy buttons out of the oil and keep in paper towel to drain the excess oil. 

Serving Time

  • Serve the yummy and crispy Buttons with hot coffee/ tea and enjoy!

Notes

  1. The buttons need to be fried in oil in low to medium flame. Wait till all the bubbles ceases in the oil while frying. If we keep the flame high, the buttons will be crispy at first and then later becomes chewy.
  2. Dry the buttons for atleast 5 mins before adding it to the oil. This prevents the buttons from breaking or bursting in oil

Hi Madhu, readymade flour makes the end product little hard than homemade rice flour. So you can use atleast a tablespoon of butter to make it soft.

can we mix oil in the dough instead of butter?

Sure we can add oil instead of butter. Butter makes it soft and easy to bite. Oil makes it more crispier and if you keep for more days a smell will come.
