I made this vegetable puffs recipe with frozen puff pastry which I bought few weeks back from Walmart. During school days, every thursday my mom used to buy hot veg puffs from nearby bakery, I liked it very much and during college days, me and my friends always order veg puffs from our college canteen and we chit-chat, laugh and have it with hot chai (tea) those brings back nostalgic memories .

So this is my all time favourite snack and I tried puff yesterday at home, it came out super yummy and crispy. I had it with tomato ketchup and green tea.  Using Pepperridge farm puff pastry sheets, you can make lot of recipes ( sweet or savory version) just by changing the stuffing, also you can make turn overs, sweet pies and tarts. For stuffing, that’s your wish use any kind of vegetables like potato-carrots-peas or eggs or chicken or paneer. You can make this veg puffs as appetizer for parties or potlock.

South Indian Pottukadalai Murukku / Roasted chana dal murukku recipe is a easy crispy evening snack that can be made quickly with storebought rice flour and fried grams.

Author: Gayathri Ramanan

Recipe type: snacks

Cuisine: Indian

Serves: 3 cups

Ingredients

• 1 Cup of Store bought rice flour
• ¼ Cup of Pottukadalai / roasted chana dal / fried gram
• ¾ Tsp of Ajwain (omam)
• ½ Tbsp of Butter
• Pinch of Asafoetida
• Salt to taste
• Vegetable oil to deep fry

Instructions

1. In a dry mixer, grind the roasted gram to a fine powder.
2. In a bowl, sieve the roasted gram flour and rice flour.
3. To the bowl, add ajwain, melted butter, asafoetida, salt. Mix this well.
4. Add water slowly and carefully, mix the flour to form a smooth dough.
5. Meanwhile heat the oil in a shallow pan to deep fry.
6. Grease the murukku press with oil, fill the press with dough and close it tightly. You can use any shape of disc. Here I used 6 big holes disc used to make thick sev.
7. To check the oil is hot, add a small piece of dough, if it rises immediately then oil is ready. If you have kitchen thermometer, use that and check for 350 F.
8. Press the murukku directly to oil or to a laddle then transfer it to a oil. Cook both the sides until golden brown colour in a medium flame until “Ssh” sound stops and bubbles reduced.
9. Remove it from oil and drain it in a paper towel.
10. Repeat the same procedure for the rest of the dough.

Notes

You can use hot oil instead of butter.
If you don’t like ajwain taste, replace it with cumin or sesame seeds.
Don’t add too much of butter, then your murukku will absorb more oil when frying.
If you want your murukku spicy, add chillly paste.
Use any shape disc to make murukku.
You can also either use homemade rice flour or store bought idiyappam flour..
Always cook murukku in medium flame for even cooking.
If your murukku breaks while pressing the dough, add little water to the dough and knead it before pressing.
