Ingredients

  • Besan flour 2.5 cups
  • Ajwain 1.5 tsp
  • Pepper powder ½ tsp
  • Red chilli powder 1 tsp
  • Hot oil ¼ cup
  • Turmeric powder ½ tsp
  • Hing ¼ tsp
  • Salt as required
  • Water as required

Instructions

  • Sieve the besan flour once and take in a bowl
  • Add salt, hing, lajwain, pepper powder, red chilli powder and turmeric powder to it and mix.
  • Add hot oil to it and mix it so it resembles crumbs.
  • Now add water little by little and knead to smooth dough.
  • Dough should be smooth and soft and not too stiff.
  • Take murukku press and use plate with holes. Grease it with oil and load the dough.
  • Press it directly in hot oil in circle form without overlapping each other.
  • Flip and cook in medium flame till bubbles subsides.
  • Drain in kitchen tissue. Repeat the same for rest of the dough.
  • Karasev is ready

Notes

If the dough is difficult to press, then it is too stiff and you can add few drops of water and knead to smooth dough. Don't add too much water too as it will absorb more oil
I used less spices for kids, you can add more pepper powder or chilli powder.
You can use butter instead of oil
