Making of Thean kuzhal dough (mavu) & Thean kuzhal

Making of Theane kuzhal dough (mavu) and Theane kuzhal
This is a snack which I will make when I have time. I used to keep this flour so that we can make in required quantity when we need. This snack will also be a part of deepawali snack list.

I wonder how our tradition include some healthy spice in almost all the snack and sweet we prepare. See in this theane kuzhal they used to add cumin(jeeragam) which is good for digestion. Even if we deep fry the flavour and taste will exist in the snack.

When mom used to prepare this during deepawali we will ask her to give us some half boiled ( it will be cooked but won't be crispy) it will be soft and tasty while consumed hot. This can be given to aged people when they can't eat crisp murukku.



Proportion of rice and dhal is 5:3/4 (rice:urad dhal)
Wash 5 portion of raw rice and dry in shade.
Slightly roast the 3/4th portion of urad dhal and add to the dried rice.
Give this mixture to flour grinding store and grind to very fine powder.
Seive the flour to ensure that the flour is grind to fine powder.
If you want you can try in less quantity in home. This will be useful for people who wont be able to grind in store.

While preparing the theane kuzhal dough, mix the required amount of salt in 1 tspn of water and dissolve completly before adding to the flour.

Mix the butter along with 1 tbspn of hot oil, cummin seed and salt water well before adding the required amount of water to make the dough for murukku.

When you want to prepare murukku make the water mixed dough in little portion and fry else the murukku might become more red after few minutes.

Always make sure to fry the murukku immediately after mixing the water don't leave for hrs and make. It won't be good.

First heat the oil and bring down the flame. Using the murukku achu start pressing the dough in oil to make murukku. I usually fry only one murukku at a time to get best quality of murukku.
