Ingredients
  • Besan/ gram flour – 1 cup
  • Oil – ½ cup
  • Water – ½ cup
  • Salt – 1 tbsp.
  • Soda – ¼ tbsp.
  • Black pepper powder – ¼ tbsp.
  • Ajawan/vamu/carrom seeds – ¼ tbsp.
  • Oil – to deep fry
Instructions
  1. To get a soft texture it’s a good idea to remove foreign particles so sieve gram flour before use.
  2. Add oil and water in 1:1 portions i.e., ½ cup each in a mixing bowl.
  3. Sprinkle little baking soda and salt. Whisk for a while till it turns into a white mixture.
  4. On the other side, add carom seeds and black pepper powder to besan flour and mix.
  5. Add whipped oil mixture to the flour and knead well till they turn soft and non-sticky.
  6. Before preparing the mold, heat the oil in a pan.
  7. We can use either round or star-shaped murukku mold. I have used 3-star holed mold.
  8. Grease the whole murukku presser along with the mold plate and stuff a portion of dough into it.
  9. Once the oil reaches optimum temperature, press the dough directly in the oil forming a round shape without overlapping each ring.
  10. Deep fry and flip to the other side after a minute and deep fry.
  11. Remove from oil once they turn color to mild and transfer over kitchen paper to remove traces of excess oil.
  12. Once cooled, store bhavnagari tikha gathiya recipe in an airtight container.
