Ribbon Muruku.

Wishing all my readers a very Happy Diwali/Deepavali.
The Festival of Lights is always celebrated with snacks and sweets. For savory snack I tried making the ribbon muruku. This is a very simple snack, that can be stored for few days and enjoyed.
The ingredients are very simple.




Ingredients:
Rice flour-1 cup
Besan flour- 1/4 cup
Ground fried bengal gram flour-1/4 cup.
Hing/asaphotida- 1/4 tsp
Jeera-1/2 tsp
White Till-1/2 tsp
Red chili powder-1/2 tsp
Salt
Oil to fry.

Method:
First grind the fried bengal gram into a smooth powder.
In a mixing bowl, add rice flour, friend gram flour and besan flour.
To this flour mixture, add chillie powder, hing, jeera and till along with salt to taste.
Simultaneously heat oil to deep fry the murukus.
Once the dry ingredients are mixed, add 2-3 tbsp of hot oil to the flour mixture and mix well. Add water to make a stiff dough.
Using the ribbon press make the murukus and deep fry them in oil, on a medium flame till golden.
 Drain them on a paper towel for any excess oil. Enjoy the muruku.
