Yummy Murukku Made With Wheat Flour

Ingredients

Wheat flour	1 cup
Red chilli powder	3/4 tsp
Jeera/ ajwain	1 & 1/2 tsp
Asafoetida	1/8 tsp
Salt	as needed
Oil	For deep frying

Method

1. Steam cook the flour  in a clean white cloth, tied into a bag. You can use your idli pot and place this bag over the idli plate.  Steam cook for 15 mins to 20 mins.
2. Untie and break it roughly when it is warm enough to handle.
3. Sieve it and break, if there is any small lumps. I used the clover shaped hole plate for this murukku. Its your choice to choose.
4. Heat oil in kadai . 
5. Meanwhile prepare the dough. Add red chilli powder, asafoetida, salt and jeera. Add a tsp of oil (preferably hot oil) too. Make dough with water. It should be a stiff yet smooth and non sticky dough.
6. Press into coil shape or what ever comfortable shape you prefer. Press it on a plastic sheet. Use spatula to take it off on put it in the oil.
7. Deep fry in hot oil, cook  both sides  until crisp and golden brown. Never let oil fume at any point, regulate the heat now and then and ensure even cooking of the murukku.  Drain in paper towel. 
8. Let it cool down and enjoy your murukku with hot tea.
