Wondering if this is some kind of a new savory that I had invented. No, its not. Its the same old Murukku(Thenkuzhal), Ribbon Pakoda and Thattai Murukku. These were the savories that I prepared for diwali apart from my usual all time favorite Mixture. Wondering how I was able to prepare all this in a matter of 11/2 hrs. Its easy as the base flour mixture is the same. Yes, I used the same flour, altered the other ingredients and prepared 3 kinds of savories. That's the reason for the title.
Base Ingredients:
Par Boiled Rice - 3 cups
Raw Rice - 3 cups
Method:
1. Soak rices together for 3 to 4 hrs.
2. Grind them into a smooth paste by adding very little water.
3. Keep this aside(Tough part is to take it out from the grinder or mixie. Its okay, as u get a very delicious savory).
4. Divide the ground batter to 3 parts.
Murukku(Thenguzhal):
Ingredients:
Prepared Rice Dough - 1 part(1 cup of raw rice + 1 cup of par boiled rice)
Dry Roasted and powdered urad dhal - 1 tsp
Butter - 50 gms
cumin seeds - 1 tbsp(the more the better it tastes)
Asafoetida - few pinches
Salt - as required
oil for deep frying
Method:
1. Mix all the ingredients and prepare a smooth dough.
2. Heat oil in a wide pan.
3. Put the dough into a murukku press and squeeze them onto hot oil making big circle(as big as the pan can hold).
4. Leave them for a 2 min and turn them over. Remove from oil once the oil stops making bubble sound.
5. Place them in absorbent paper.
6. Repeat the procedure with rest of the dough.
Note: The murukuu is sure to be maintain its color(white). If it becomes brown then it means that you have added more urad dhal. Reduce it during ur next try..:)
Ribbon Pakoda
Ingredients:
Prepared Rice dough - 1 part(1 cup of raw rice + 1 cup of par boiled rice)
Besan Flour - 1/2 cup
Butter - 50 gms
Chilli Powder - 2 tbsp(if you need more spice add some more of ur choice)
Salt - for taste
Asafoetide - few pinches
oil for frying
Method:
1. Mix all the ingredients and prepare a smooth dough.
2. Heat oil in a wide pan.
3. Put the dough into a ribbon pakoda press and squeeze them onto hot oil making big circle(as big as the pan can hold).
4. Leave them for a 2 min and turn them over. Remove from oil once the oil stops making bubble sound.
5. Place them in absorbent paper.
6.. Repeat the procedure with rest of the dough.
I just had this remaining for the click..:). Other than the pakoda, do u see something else in the snap???
Thattai Murukku

Red chillis - 6 mos
Green Chillis - 2 nos

soaked channa dhal - 2 tbsps
Asafoetida - few pinches

2. Grind the chillis to a coarse paste.
3. Mix this with the other ingredients and make a smooth dough.
4. Prepare small balls out of the dough.
5. In a milk cover or zip lock cover or any polythene cover pat the balls to circular flat discs.
6. Heat oil in a wide pan

Same here.....:)
Variations:
Tip:
- ver add too much water as the savory might turn brown.
- Roasted urad dhal powder: dry roast the urad dhal in a hot pan till golden brown. Allow it to cool and grind it to a smooth powder. Sieve it if required
- use of freshly prepared urad dhal powder makes the savory retain its original color.
