Varieties of
murukku are there to try and eat always. All are savouries prepared with rice flour,
gram dal flour, gram flour, maidha, green gram flour etc. This kolusa murukku
or achu murukku is a sweetish type. Normally this is prepared with eggs. There
are so many moulds available in the shops to try. This also can be prepared
with plain flour. But it will taste heavenly with rice flour. Some people will
not like much sugar. So sugar must be added according to the taste.

Ingredients:
Raw rice- 250 gm
Eggs-2
sugar- 5 tbsp
[powdered]
Coconut- half
Salt- a pinch
Enough oil to fry
Procedure:
Soak the rice in
lots of water for an hour.
Then drain the
water completely and allow the rice to shed off extra wetness by spreading it
on a clean cloth and keep it thus in a shadowy place for half an hour.
Then powder it
finely in a mixi and sieve it twice.
Shred the coconut
and extract its thick milk.
In a bowl add the
flour with beaten eggs, sugar, coconut milk and salt.
Mix well and
sufficient water can be added also to make the batter.
The consistency
should be like dosa batter.
Heat a pan which
must be broad and has a short height. [1 ½ inches]
Pour enough oil.
The fire should
be medium high.
Put the kolusa
murukku mould in the oil.
It should be
heated along with the oil.
Only the mould
should be heated and the handle must not touch the oil.
When the oil
becomes hot, take away the mould and immerse it in the batter.
The mould should
not be immersed fully.
It should be
immersed with half of its height.
Immediately dip
it again in the oil and then shake the mould slowly.
The murukku will
be released from the mould and begin to cook in the oil.
Turn on the other
side when it becomes golden brown.
When both sides
are cooked to golden brown, take it off.
The delious
kolusa murukku is ready now!!
Note:
it will be
easy if you have two moulds. When a mould is dipped with coated batter in hot
oil, after releasing the murukku, it needs to be heated again for a few seconds
to immerse again in the batter. If you have a spare mould, you can use it
simultaneously.
