Notes
- After first fry, the murukku wont be crisp at all. Only after second, it gets super crisp.
- Do not add butter more than mentioned. The original recipe calls for only 2 tablespoon butter, so you can reduce it too.
- Instead of butter, you can add hot oil too.
- While adding murukku to oil for second time, the murukku wont bubble as soon as you add in oil. It takes few seconds to bubble start appear. So no need to think your oil is not hot. Just proceed to cook in low or medium flame without changing colour.
