Tips for making Ring Murukku Recipe:

Homemade rice flour gives good texture and taste than store bought rice flour
Store bought urad dal flour cannot be used for thattai or any bakshanam. Store bought urad dal flour is not roasted flour. So will not work properly
To prepare urad dal flour, dry roast urad dal till it’s very hot to handle. We don’t need to roast till red/golden color.
Grind urad dal to smooth powder. Sieve the flour twice to get rid off any lumps or coarse flour. We need perfectly smooth flour.
Store the rest of the urad flour in an air-tight container and use it whenever you are planning to some snacks like thenkuzhal, seedai, thattai etc
Butter gives a better texture than ghee. But if you don't have butter, you can use ghee also.
Make sure the dough is smooth. If its very dry, sprinkle warm water and knead it to smooth dough. If the dough is very dry, while shaping the ring, the edges will not hold.
Allow the shaped rings to dry for 5 mins and then drop in oil.
Check the hotness of oil before dropping in oil. Deep fry the rings in low flame till all the bubble ceases.
Store in airtight container once the deep fried rings cooled off to ensure the rings stay crispy for 2-3 weeks.

INSTRUCTIONS WITH STEP BY STEP PICTURES:

Soak the moong dal in water for atleast 15 minutes. I have used home made rice flour. Please click here for the Rice Flour recipe. (You can also use store bought flour or Idiappam flour). Add urid dal flour to the sieved rice flour and mix well. Heat a pan and add water along with salt, soaked moong dal and butter.

Once the water starts boiling, add the flour little by little and keep mixing till all the rice flour gets nicely combined with water and immediately switch off the flame and allow the dough to cool of so that you could handle with your hands

When the dough is completely cooled off, add cumin seeds, sesame seeds, red chilli powder and hing and knead the dough well

Take small gooseberry sized dough and make it like a ball. Grease your palm with little oil and rub the dough ball to make 2 inch strip

Then connect both the ends of the dough strip to make it like a ring and place it in a plate . Repeat this step for the rest of the dough. Heat oil in a pan and test the hotness by dropping a pinch of dough. if the dough raises immediately, then it is the correct hotness and we can drop the rings into the oil gently.

Fry the ring murukku evenly on all the side till they turn golden brown and crispy. Gently take out the crispy murukku from oil and place it in a paper towel to drain the excess oil
