Palak Murukku is a very
famous snack in Bangalore and I saw it being sold on the streets of many
Bangalore areas. When I saw the recipe of this murruku in a magazine, I wanted
to try it out.
It came out very well. Since it is a good health snack, I
recommend this to be tried out.

Preparation Time: 15 mins | Cooking
Time: 15 mins | Yields: 15 (medium size)
Ingredients:
Rice Flour
|
½ cup
|
Urad Dal Flour (click here for
homemade urad dal flour recipe)
|
2 tbsp
|
Butter
|
½ tbsp
|
Ajwain (omam)
|
½ tsp
|
Palak
Leaves
|
15-20 leaves
|
Salt
|
As required
|
Procedure:
1.
Clean and remove the thick stem of the palak leaves. Wash the leaves and keep
it aside.
2. Heat one cup of water in a wide
bowl. Bring it to boil and switch off the flame. Then put the washed palak
leaves into the hot water.
3.
Leave it for 2 mins and remove from the water and strain it completely.
4. Grind them into a fine paste using
mixer grinder with little water.
5. Extract the juice from the paste
using the strainer. Keep it aside.
6.
In a wide bowl, add rice flour, urad dal flour, ajwain and butter. Mix them
well with your fingers. It should look like a bread crumbs.
7.
Now add the palak water (from step 5) little by little and knead a soft dough. Add
enough palak water only to make dough. If you have excess water, you can use it
for other purpose. Otherwise you don’t have enough palak water to make dough,
you can add normal water.
8.
Take the murukku-press and choose the design as per your wish. I used star
design. (mullu murukku design).
4.
Grease the murukku-press with oil, then fill the murukku-press with dough upto
¾ of the press. Press a round shape on the ladle. I used 2 ladles for quick
process.
5.
Heat the oil in a pan till it becomes hot or put a pinch of dough into the oil.
If the dough comes up immediately, then this is the correct stage of oil
heating.
6.
Now flip the ladle over the oil. After a min, flip the murukku and cook till
the sizzling sound reduces completely.
7.
Take it out from the oil and drain them using tissue paper. Repeat this for
remaining dough also. Allow it to cool down completely and store it in a air
tight container.
Healthy and tasty murukku is ready.
