FAQs
1. Can I use a different type of flour for Murukku?
While rice flour is traditional, you can experiment with a blend of rice and all-purpose flour for a slightly softer texture. However, using only all-purpose flour might significantly alter the final crispiness.
2. How do I achieve perfectly crispy Murukku?
Ensure your oil is hot enough before adding the batter. Don't overcrowd the pan, and fry in small batches for even cooking and maximum crispiness. Allow the Murukku to cool completely before storing.
3. How long can I store my Murukku?
Store your cooled Murukku in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them.
