KURKURE

 

 

I always prepare different kinds of murukku- South Indian savory snack, during festivals.This Diwali,I decided to attempt Kurkure - a crispy savory snack comprising gram flour,rice flour embellished with varied spices. I always fancy store-bought kurkure and chips,but considering the additives and preservatives used in it,I have decided to cut down on the intake of the same. There is no fixed recipe for this snack,hence you can have it your way. Though the snack was not on par with the store bought ones,I thoroughly loved my version. Hence,it is my take on Kurkure !

 

 

 

 

 INGREDIENTS :

 

GRAM FLOUR- 2 CUPS

RICE FLOUR- 1/2 CUP

CRUSHED PEPPER- 1/2 TSP

GARAM MASALA- 1/4 TSP 

AAMCHUR POWDER-  1/4 TSP

SALT TO TASTE

TURMERIC POWDER- 1/8 TSP

HOT OIL -  1 TBSP

PROCEDURE :

1.Sieve gram flour and rice flour separately and keep it aside. 

2. In a wide container transfer both the flour and add salt and mix well.

3. Now add in all the spice powders one by one over the flour and mix well.

4. Add hot oil,water to the flour and knead to a tight dough.

5. Heat oil in a pan. Always maintain medium heat while frying snacks. Drop a small portion of dough in the hot oil. If it pops up,then the oil is at right temperature for frying. 

6. I have a vegetable chopper with big holes. I took a small portion of the dough and rubbed it against the hole to get the kurkure shape. If your dough is bit hard,then sprinkle some water to loosen it.

7. Fry till it turns golden brown on both the sides. Slide the fried kurkures on a kitchen towel to absorb excess oil . On cooling transfer it to an air-tight container.
