Ingredients

• 2 cups Rice flour
• 0.5 cup Urad dal flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 cups Oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix rice flour and urad dal flour thoroughly to combine the dry flours evenly.

Step 2

Add salt, red chili powder, asafoetida, and sesame seeds to the flour mixture. Mix well to incorporate all the spices.

Step 3

Pour in the melted butter and rub the flour with butter using your fingers to form a crumbly texture.

Step 4

Gradually add water little by little while mixing to form a soft yet firm dough. The dough should be pliable and not sticky.

Step 5

Cover the dough and let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Step 6

Divide the dough into equal portions. Take one portion and roll it into a long rope, about 5 to 6 inches long.

Step 7

Join the ends of the rope to form a ring and press gently to seal the ends. Repeat this process with the remaining dough.

Step 8

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of dough into the oil. It should rise to the surface immediately without browning too quickly.

Step 9

Carefully slide a few ring murukkus into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.

Step 10

Fry the murukkus until they turn golden brown and the sizzling sound reduces, indicating they are cooked through.

Step 11

Remove the fried murukkus with a slotted spoon and drain the excess oil on paper towels.

Step 12

Allow them to cool completely; they will become crisper as they cool. Store the murukkus in an airtight container.

Step 13

Enjoy your crunchy and flavorful Gluten-Free Ring Murukku with a cup of hot tea or coffee!
