Ingredients

Preparation Time : 5 mins+4 hours soaking | Cooking Time : 20 Mins | Yields: 3 cups

     Sago | Javarisi 1/4 cup
     Yogurt     1/4 cup
     Rice flour   1 cup
    Red chilli powder   1 tsp
    Butter     1 tsp
    Hot oil    2 tsp
   Cumin seeds 1/2 tsp
   Asafoetida     2 pinches
   Oil      for deep frying

Method:

Soak the sago|javarisi in yogurt for 3 hours. You need to mix it well with hands. After soaking it will be doubled in size.

In a wide bowl add the sago mixture, rice flour, chiili powder, cumin seeds, butter, hot oil,salt and asafoetida.
Sprinkle little water as needed and make it into a soft dough.

Put it into a murukku press and press it into hot oil.
It won’t come as full murukku. I tried this 2 times with 2 different murukku achhus. You can use any achu of your choice.
I used a new achu with 4 holes.
Heat oil and fry and when the oil sound subsides take them out from oil.

Drain in a kitchen towel. Crispy murukkus are ready.

Store in a airtight container and enjoy the murukkus.

Notes:

Actually in the original recipe aunty told to add green chili paste. If felt that it will be too hot and so added red chilli.
Do not worry about the sago will get struck to the holes in the achu. It will come smoothly.
Just mash it nicely with your hands before adding the flour.
As yogurt is added you can add little more chilli powder also.
If the sagois not soaked properly it will burst in oil. Ensure it is soft
