Magizhampoo murukku, magizhampoo thenkuzhal with coconut milk. Learn this tasty mullu murukku recipe with step by step pictures.
Magizhampoo is a flower which is so small in size but smells heavenly and strongly too. They sort the flower in a thread with needle and wear in the plaits as we do jasmine. This magizhampoo thenkuzhal murukku resembles the look of sorted flowers. And I assume that’s why they call this so. We make this murukku a bit different… We make it as a mildly sweet murukku with coconut milk. So it is very very flavourful and very distinct in taste. I love it very much.
For sweetening we use sugar candies,Kalkandu ,my mom says if we use sugar for sweetening the murukku browns easily and sugar candies lessen this. I always love mild sweet snacks, like the diamond cuts snack. This is also one of those snacks I love. Also I love making this murukku because of its shape. I love making those cure swirls ☺.
Magizhampoo murukku recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups Idiyappam flour/ Rice flour
- ¼ cup Roasted moong dal flour
- ¼ cup Coconut milk
- 3 tbsp Sugar candy/kalkandu powder - 3 tbsp
- 2 tsp Sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp ghee or melt butter or oil
- Salt as needed
- Oil - for deep frying
Instructions
- We have some preparations before making the murukku. Roast moong dal/paasi paruppu till golden,cool down,powder it and sieve it. Grind ¾ cup coconut with little warm water and extract coconut milk from it. Powder the sugar candy.
- Warm the coconut milk and dissolve the powdered sugar candy in it. Use this warm milk while making dough. Take rice flour, moong dal flour,sesame seeds,ghee, salt(if usinin a bowl and mix well. Add coconut milk and enough water gradually to make a smooth stif dough. THere should not be any cracks too.
- Take the star holed plate in the murukku press and fill it with the prepared dough. Heat oil in kadai , meanwhile draw murukku in circles in greased ladles. Drop carefully in oil and fry in medium flame.
- Fry both sides till golden colour or the bubbles ceases. Drain from oil to paper towels.
Notes
- Just ¼ cup coconut milk is enough,use plain water for the rest. More milk makes cooking time long and harder murukku too.
- Using more sweet makes the murukku brown in colour also becomes harder.
- Always deep fry in medium heat while cooking. But make sure the oil is hot while squeezing.
- I had already the powdered moong dal, so I have not shown those steps..hehe.
- If your murukku breaks while making, try sprinkling more water and knead and try again. Use finest rice flour to avoid this.
- You can also replace moong dal powder with urad dal powder.

Tasty Appetite
this variety of murukku is totally new to me. Adding coconut milk sounds interesting and will soon give this a try.Wonderful circles and great clicks
I have not tried sweetening this murukku until now.With idiyappam flour, I am guessing that the pounded rice flour has to be roasted like for idiyappams.
And you have created the spirals very beautifully.
My mom-in-law makes them and I love them too but never knew this murrukku had such a beautiful name to it. She called them Inippu murrukku.
Beautiful Clicks as always.
omg pics r dawn pretty n tempting…

This is very new to me.Adding coconut milk and sugar candies is a nice twist in the murruku.
OMG,they looks sooo attractive…nice one!!
That is so new to me.. i don't think i've had a murukku with kalkandu in it. Perfect concentric circles too.

Perfect Murukku with beautiful spirals Raks!
i have never heard of this kind. the shape is so perfect!! i haven't attempted murkku on my own yet! 😀
Hi Rak,
I am planning to make this murukku today. I have following questions.
1.Can i use store bought can coconut milk, if so is this the same proportion.
2.Can i skip Sugar candy/kalkandu powder, i don't want sweet murukku.
3.How many murukku i can make with this proportion.
4.If i change moong dal to Urad dal, is the color and taste is going to be same, what will be better(i never tried moon dal before)
5.Moong dal flour measurement says 1/4 – 1/2 cup, What that mean(1/4 or ½)?
6. Can i make regular murukku mold to do this
7.What is the difference between MURUKKU and Thenkuzhal murukku , which will be similar to the store bought sift and crunchy one.
I know I have too many questions. Please help me to to make murukku today.
Thanks.
Dori
Dori,
You can use store bought coconut milk. But dilute it as it will be too thick I think. dilute 1/4 cup milk with 1/4 cup water.
Yes you can skip the sweet part very well.
You can make around 20 murukkus.
You can change moong to urad dal flour. Both have unique taste and flavor.
You can add urad dal flour from 1/4 cup or upto 1/2 cup.
Both this one and thenkuzhal are crunchy.. Only the ingredients differ a little bit which makes its flavor differ a bit. You can also reffer the other murukku recipes in my blog.
Hope this helps, do write to me if you have any further doubts.
Thanks Rak for your prompt reply.
I tried this yesterday, it came out really good. I like the color of the murukku, it was so transparent.
Sure I’ll try your other versions of murkku.
Keep it up your good work.
Hi,
If urad dal should that be roasted too?
Thanks for ur reply i tried poricha kulambu and it came out well.
Yes, you have to roast to give a nice flavor …
Made it yesterday. u give such exact measurements :)cant be missed ….came out really good …didnt know about the milk part b4 😛
Splendid recipes with perfect results not unlike the recipe books where the outcome is not as intended.
Woowww…how can u make them this symmetrical …looks Yummmmm!!!!
Wow! This is a very new type of sweet muruku! So well presented! 🙂
rice flavour is stored brought or we need to soak in water and dry in towel and then gring it
hema satheesh
This is made with store bought rice flour
Shall I do without adding coconut milk??
Coconut milk gives nice flavor. Still it will come good sure with out coconut milk.
I have tried with same measurements, but it come out little bit hard . What should I do to rectify.
Your recipes are awesome always..
I want to ask you one thing.. where did you get murukku press from ? Mine has lots of wholes.. so whatever I try it’s over crowded in oil..
This was from my mom, very very old one Have you tried saravana stores or such vessels shop? also shops outside big famous temples who sell kadai, dosa oan and other stuffs will have this too. Look for it.
