THAYIR MURUKKU(Curds chakli)

When i went to Indian last May some of my relatives presented me cooking books and one of the book had this recipe . was very curious about the taste so tried it finally this week and we liked it. But one small change that i made was water. the book did not have anything about water and also adding hot oil . Since i had less curds i added some water to get the proper dough consistency. and regarding oil my amma used to say adding butter or hot oil Will give nice crispness to murukku.

INGREDIENTS:
Rice flour- 2 cups
Urad dhal flour -1 tbs
Curds- 1cup
Water- about 1/2 cup
Salt - to taste
Chilli powder- to taste
Sesame seed- 1/4 tsp
Asefotida- little
Oil- to fry
METHOD:
  1. Mix rice ,urad flour along with all the ingredients .Add 2 tsp of hot oil and mix well to make nice murukku dough .
  2. Heat oil .
  3. Fill Murukku press with the the dough and press it into the oil(or press it on a plastic sheet  and drop it in the oil)
  4. Fry till golden brown and store in airtight container.
NOTE: I am not sure if the prepared dough can be kept for a long time since we use curds. so I would recommend to use it immediately  to make murukku.
