Notes
- You can skip garlic and make.
- If ribbon murukku breaks while squeezing, try sprinkling more water, knead and try again.
- Do not add more butter than mentioned, if added, it will dissolve in oil.
- You can add hot oil in place of melt butter like I did.
- Rice flour and besan should be fine flour.
- To check if oil is heated at right temperature, if you add a small pinch, then it should rise immediately.
- Oil should not smoke , so regulate the flame now and then.
- If making in large quantity, prepare dough in batches, otherwise, it will affect texture and colour of the ribbon murukku
