Pic Infront : Karasev / Ribbon Pakoda / Murukku 

Sourced: Rak's Kitchen

Ingredients:

1 cup heaped Gram Flour / Kadala mavu

3/4 cup Rice Flour

1/4 tsp Asafoetida powder

1/8 tsp Turmeric powder

2 tsp Pepper, crushed coarsely

1 tsp Cumin seeds

2 tbsp Butter, softened

Oil for deep frying

Salt as needed

Method:

Sieve gram flour if it has any lumps.  Take both flours in a bowl, melt butter and add it to it.  Add crushed pepper and cumi, salt, turmeric and asafoetida.  

Mix well, add enough water to make a stiff dough but there shouldn't be any cracks.  Make as a smooth dough.

Take the murukku press with the same plate we use to make murukku.  Fill the press with dough and press in hot oil in large circles.  Do not make too many layers just two circles.  Fry in medium flame on both sides till the bubbles and "Shhh" sounds ceases.
