Whole Wheat Flour Murukku Recipe

Step 1: To begin  making the Whole Wheat Flour Murukku, in a cotton cloth place the Vivatta chakki atta, bring 2 opposite ends of the cloth and tie them together

Step 2: Now bring the other 2 opposite ends and tie them too

Step 3: The flour should be completed covered by the cloth

Step 4: Place this cloth in a bowl and place that inside a steamer making sure cloth does not turn the water

Step 5: Steam the atta for about 15 to 20 minutes

Step 6: After steaming, remove the cloth from the steamer, open the ends and leave it open for few minutes until it cools down so you can handle the flour

Step 7: Now break the flour as fine as you can and then sieve it to make sure no lumps are present

Step 16: Wait until the murukku releases the ladle by itself (if you find that murukku is not leaving the spotted ladle, you can gently push the murukku using another ladle after it’s cooked on one side, mine released by itself)

Step 17: Fry them in oil until golden brown on both side

Step 18: You will notice that the bubbles in the oil is reduced which indicates murukku is down
