Achu murukku in tamil/Tasty and crispy Achu murukku without egg/அச்சு முறுக்கு /Rose cookies

Ingredients

• Rice flour – 1 cup
• Maida or All Purpose Flour- 1/4 cup
• Sugar (powdered) – 3/4 cup
• Coconut Milk – 3/4 cup
• Egg – 1 (Optional)
• Oil – for deep frying

Method

1. To a mixing bowl – add maida,rice flour and powdered sugar.

2. Add salt and sesame seeds.Mix well. add egg and mix well.

3. Add the coconut milk and mix well. It should form a slightly thin batter. (like dosa batter)

4. Now heat oil, dip the mould in it till its heated atleast for 15 seconds. When the mould has become hot, dip it carefully inside the batter such that only 75% of the mould is covered with batter. This is important so that the murukku easily comes off the mould.

5. Gently hold the mould inside the hot oil. You will see the oil bubbling.

6. After few seconds, shake the mould handle gently to release the achu murukku into the oil. You can also use a fork to help release the murukku.

7. Let it fry in medium heat till the bubbling of the oil subsides.

8. Turn the murukkus half way so that both sides have an even golden brown color.

9. In the meantime, leave the mould in the hot oil so that it is ready for the next murukku

10. Our tasty and crispy achu murukuku is ready!!!!!!!!!!

Note:

1. First we need to treat mould, but this is mainly for iron / aluminium.If its nonstick then you can use it as such.I first washed it well, soaked in rice cooked starch water overnight.Then immersed in heated oil for 5 mins,switched off and left it in that oil overnight.Now the mould is ready.

2. I used non stick achu murukku mould.

3. If you want to make it egg less, then ignore egg add little extra coconut milk while making the batter.
