Ahila, I have a couple of questions abt ur maurukku recipe before I try it out. I have made it a bunch of times bunch of times before but am yet to make the \"perfect\" batch, for my tatste my murukku always turns out a little kadu kadu ... Urad flour is to be roasted and then ground right?? Also any tips or opinions on what makes murukku kadu kadu and what steps i need to take to make a crisp muru muru batch ......also my murukku breaks easily when i press it out on the oil, and doesnt come out long like ur picture, it is broken into very small bits by itself,what cud be the reason? plz advice

Hasna,yes ideally u can roast the urad dhal and powder it. If that is not possible, fry the urad flour itself.To avoid hardness add correct amount of butter. If u add more butter, murukku will break while u press it out into oil.Hope this helps.

About the muruku press

mmm..muruku is my favourite snack ! 
For a long time i was searching for the muruku press in Indian stores..but finally I found Maruti Kitchen Press, on this web site http://www.perfectpeninsula.com 
 
You need a right tool to make muruku. The job was done like a breeze, just with one hand ! It was so easy to press. 
When compared to the conventional tool made out of wood or aluminium - you need two hand and have to press very hard and it becomes very difficult to make when the oil is hot  
 
It also came with a Recipe book with lots of unique snack varieties ! For more info, go to http://www.perfectpeninsula.com/KitchenPress.html 
 
I hope this would be more useful link, for people who are looking for to buy one !
