hi ami, i heard abt maida murukku, but not tried yet. this time iam going to try this. is there anything required for maida murukku like pottukadalai, gram dhal flour....... waiting for ur managombu recipe.........not even heard the name 'managombu' regards, surya.
To Lakshmivinoth.................. In your previous post you posted murukku with pottukadle (does it mean dhalia?)......in that does ghee need to be hot? Does this murukku come out crisp?? Sorry if these questions sounds dumb!! Thanks!!!
For maida thenkuzhal, steam as mentioned and sieve it without lumps; now, mix with water, salt and jeera seeds and optl. 1 tsp of butter or hot oil. No other ingredients are reqd for this thenkuzhal. Another version is adding urad flour with the above steamed maida.
Manangombu Friends, Here the recipe for manangombu is and may use ordinary achu(medhu thenkuzhal achu). manangombu : Rice flour one and half cup moong flour - half cup besan- quarter cup ghee - 2 tsp jeera optional, salt Sieve the flours and mix the above and add water to the flour and put them in thenguzhal mould. Make them. One more practice in general : they make only one ball for just one achu and when they put it in oil, they make the maavu for the next serving. They make the batter for each time to put in oil. This way, the thenguzhals will not become dark red. In general, all these thenguzhals will become hard if they are done in low flame. Always have them in low medium.
Hi Jaya I think pottukadle is known as Dhalia in Hindi (Not sure). However, its also known as split peas dal, roasted gram. Its used in coconut based chutneys (In south). However, please find the picture enclosed. You neednot add hot ghee. You just mix all the powders, salt very well and then add the required ghee and mix well again. Finally make a tough dough by adding limited water. Its very simple and crispy. Dont hesitate to get back to me if you have any doubts. Regards Lakshmi
