Method:
- Take a mixing bowl, add rice flour, moong dal flour, red chili powder, peppercorns, salt, butter, cumin seeds and mix everything nicely
- Add coconut milk little by little and knead it to a smooth dough. I used nearly 1 cup of coconut milk. We can adjust with more coconut milk or water if we want
- Heat oil in a pan for deep frying the murukku. Take the press and mould and grease it with oil
- When the oil is hot enough, drop a pinch of murukku dough to see if it raises immediately in the oil, if so, then the oil is ready
- Add 2-3 handful of murukku dough and put it inside the press and mould. Close the press and mould with lid. Gently squeeze it in the oil to make murukku. We can also grease a small plate and make the murukku shape on the plate and then gently drop the plate in the oil. After the murukku has cooked for sometime it will come out automatically from plate and we can take out the plate
- Fry the murukku in hot oil in medium flame till crispy and golden brown
