Sederhana

Rice Murukku, also known as 'Murukku Beras', is a beloved traditional snack in Malaysia, especially popular among the Indian-Malaysian community. This crisp, spiral-shaped delicacy is a staple during festive occasions like Deepavali but is also enjoyed year-round as a tea-time treat. The name 'murukku' means 'twisted' in Tamil, referring to its distinctive shape formed by hand or using a traditional mould. Malaysian Rice Murukku stands out for its unique blend of local ingredients, such as fragrant pandan and coconut oil, which infuse the snack with a subtle aroma and a distinctly Malaysian touch. While murukku has roots in South Indian cuisine, the Malaysian version often incorporates multicultural influences, making it a true reflection of Malaysia’s diverse food heritage. With a light, crunchy texture and gentle spices, it's a healthier alternative to deep-fried snacks and perfect for sharing with family and friends.

Bahan-bahan(untuk Approx. 10 pieces per serving)

1 cup Rice flour (tepung beras)
2 tbsp Urad dal flour (tepung kacang urad)
1 tbsp Sesame seeds (bijan)
1 tsp Cumin seeds (jintan putih)
2 tbsp Pandan juice (air pandan, optional for aroma) - pilihan
1/2 tsp Chili powder (serbuk cili)
2 tbsp Coconut oil (minyak kelapa, for dough)
1/2 tsp Salt (garam)
as needed Water (for dough consistency)
for shallow frying Cooking oil (can use coconut or vegetable oil)

Arahan

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine rice flour, urad dal flour, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, chili powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices.
3 minutes
Use freshly sifted flours for a smoother dough and crunchier murukku.
2
Add coconut oil and optional pandan juice to the dry mixture. Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead until a soft, pliable dough forms. It should not be sticky or dry.
5 minutes
Adding pandan juice gives a unique Malaysian aroma to your murukku.
3
Prepare your murukku mould (acuan murukku) with the star-shaped plate. Fill it with dough and press out spirals onto small squares of parchment or banana leaf for easy handling.
4 minutes
Grease the mould lightly for smoother pressing and sharper designs.
4
Heat cooking oil in a wide, shallow pan over medium heat. Once hot (test by dropping a small piece of dough; it should sizzle), gently slide in the formed murukku spirals.
2 minutes
Maintain moderate oil temperature to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
