When I asked my friend Swapna do you want me post anything for you and have any snaps, she was very excited :). So, these are Swapna's recipes and I feel happy to post them on my blog. Since she is busy with her kid I am glad to share her recipes with all of you. I hope you all will like them. Any non bloggers who wish to post their recipes can send them to my email id vishkamenani@gmail.com. I would be glad to share them on my blog.
For Murukkulu
Ingredients :
Rice flour - 2 cups
Gram flour -1/2 cup
Sesame seeds - 1-2 tbsp
Butter melted - 1/4 stick
Chilli powder - 1-2 tbsp or more
Salt to taste
Water enough to make the dough
Oil for deep frying
Muruku maker for making murukkus
Method :
- In a bowl mix together everything except oil meant for deep frying. You should make the dough thick and not loose or thin consistency.
- Now heat oil in a deep frying pam, place a golf sized ball in the murruku maker (choosing the plate of whichever deisgn you want) and press it in hot oil.
- Fry the murkus until they are slightly reddish and remove them onto a tissue draining excess oil.
- Store in air tight containers and serve as snacks.
For Gulab Jamuns
Ingredients :
Gulab Jamun Mix - 1 pack MTR Brand (you can use any store brought)
Baking soda - a pinch
Water/Milk - 1/4 cup or until the dough is consistent enough to make firm balls
Oil for Deep Frying
Sugar Syrup ( Made from 1/2 litre water and 500 grams sugar)
Method :
- In a bowl, add one pack of the Gulab Jamun mix and add baking soda along with milk/water and make a firm dough consistent enough to make small balls. Mix carefully to avoid lumps.
- Then the keep the dough aside and prepare sugar syrup.
- In a deep pan, add water(1/2 ltr) with sugar(500 gms) and boil it on medium heat until it reduces to half the amount.
- Then in another deep pan, heat oil and dee fry small balls made out of the dough we made and remove them onto a tissue paper to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaning dough.
- Let them cool and then put them slowly inside the sugar syrup made. After sometime you can see that the gulab jamuns absorb the surup.
- Then serve them cold or as it is.
- For soft and smooth Gulab Jamuns use milk rather than water to prepare the dough.
- For Murukkulu to have that crunchy yet melt in mouth taste add butter.
