Butter murukku - an easy snack that is crisp with soft texture. It's a favourite evening snack for kids and also as a side dish for their lunch. In my blog, I have already posted traditional thenkuzhal and mullu thenkuzhal recipes which will be prepared with the grounded rice batter. But for this butter murukku we have to use rice flour, besan flour and fried gram flour and there is no soaking or grinding works. This butter murukku is super simple to make compared with mullu thenkuzhal. In just 40 minutes, you will have a crispy butter murukku to impress your kids.
You can use your own homemade rice flour or idiyappam flour. Try to use fresh flours for this murukku. I have included fried grams in this murukku to bring the soft texture, if you don't have leave it. My Grandma suggests me to add moong dal flour for this murukku because it produces a nice flavour. If you have some leftover moong dal flour, you can add it instead of fried gram flour. As for the butter, you can add 3 to 4 tbsp for 2 cups of flour, but I have reduced to 2 tbsp because the murukku will break down into very small pieces and also it absorbs more oil when fried. To add some flavour cumins and asafoetida powder can be added. For deep frying, you can use either groundnut oil or coconut oil. Now we will see how to prepare this Butter Murukku with step by step instructions.

Ingredients
Measure all the flours using the measuring cup. Sieve the rice flour for 2 times.
Combine the besan flour and fried gram flour and sieve for 2 to 3 times.
Take a wide mixing bowl and add the flours. Next, add the butter, cumins and required salt. Mix them well.
Mix them well with your fingers, so that all the dry ingredients will be combined well with the flour.
Now slowly add 1 cup of water little by little and knead them well. Knead them into a smooth dough as in the picture below. For this measurement, 1 to 1.25 cups of water will be perfect.
Heat the groundnut oil in a wide kadai on medium heat. In the meantime, fill the murukku press with the dough and close it with the lid.
Take a plate or sheet and slowly squeese the murukku on the plate into long strings. This method is comfortable for me to fry them in the oil. You can do in your own method.
When the oil is heated enough, add the prepared murukkus carefully from the sides into oil.
After 2 minutes, flip the murukku and fry them until the shhh sound completely stops.
Transfer the murukku to a plate and then store it in an airtight container.
