Today's recipe is a slightly sour and crunchy murukku with the sago/javvarisi.This recipe I learnt from one of our family friend and she is an expert in making this murukku.
This is a simple and easy to make murukku but the sago needs to be soaked for 2-3 hours atleast.Once the sago is soaked then making the murukku is very easy.Originally the soaked sago is mashed and added but some of the sago are hard even after soaking.So I grind it in a blender to bit coarse paste and use.Try this crispy,mouth melting for Diwali and enjoy,now off to the recipe................

In a wide bowl add the powdered gram dhal,ground sago,rice flour,gram flour,red chilly powder,sesame seeds,salt.To this add the hot oil and mix it well.Now it looks crumbly.Use very little water and knead it to a soft dough.
Fill the murukku press with the dough with the 3-5 holed blade.Heat the oil in a pan a medium flame,once the oil becomes hot squeeze directly into the oil in a circular motion.
When it is half cooked using the ladle,break the murukku into pieces.Cook it till the sizzling sound ceases.Drain it on a paper.Continue it for the rest of the dough.
Store it in an air tight container after cooling.

- Instead of red chilly powder,green chilly can be grind along with the sago,the color of the murukku will be pale in color.
- Sesame seeds can be replaced with cumin seeds.
- Here I use the round eyed blade,you can use the star shaped blade also.
