Oats Murukku / Chakli

Oats Murukku.....

Hi all, Advance Diwali wishes !!

Diwali is here for 2020 and let's celebrate with a special sweet and savoury dish. I am going to share my recipe for Oats Murukku in this post and Kambu Burfi in my next post. without further ado, lets get in to the recipe.

Ingredients needed ( makes 13 , 3 spiral murukkus)

Oats flour - 1/2 cup

Urad Flour / Black Lentil Flour - 1/2 cup

Unsalted Butter - 1 tbsp softened at room temperature

Carom Seeds - 1/2 tsp

Red Chilli Powder - 1/4 tsp

Salt - 1/2 tsp

Asafoetida powder / Hing - 1/8 tsp

Water - 1/2 cup + little more to adjust the consistency of the dough

I used homemade Oats Flour. Here is how to make it- I used rolled oats. Dry fry it in a pan until some of them start popping up and you smell the aroma of Oats . Cool it down and grind to a fine powder and sift the flour before using.

In general, while you are using any flour in any recipe, always remember to sift it to avoid any lumps or un-ground pieces. I am stressing on this, because if there is any piece or lump, it will burst while frying in oil.

In a bowl, add the oat flour, urad flour, salt, red chilli powder, hing, and mix well. Then add the softened butter and mix well. Once you mix the butter , you should be able to form a shape when you hold it in you hands like in the picture below.

Then add the water little by little and make a dough. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

Heat oil for frying in a wide mouth pan. The oil should not be too hot . Keep the stove in medium flame. If the oil is too hot, the murukku will turn brown soon , but will not be cooked from inside.

Now, grease the murukku presser with oil and fill the dough. I have used the single star disc to make murukku. in small pieces of butter paper or parchment paper, make the murukkus.

Once the oil is read to fry, put the murukkus gently into the oil. After one or two minutes, flip the murukku over and cook on both sides.

Once the sound of frying comes down and the murukkus are golden brown, they are done!!

Significance of Pillayar Nonbu

Pillayar nombu is a nombu celebrated exclusively by Naattukkottai Nagarathars. This post is intended for young chettiar couples living far from their families, who want to know about this nonbu and celebrate it at home. The significance of performing this nombu, is that we pray to Lord Ganesha, requesting him to remove all the obstacles in our life. I have heard that there are 3 versions of the story behind this nonbu. I am sharing the one that my mom has told me... A teenage girl was ill-treated by her step-mother. On karthigai deepam day, this step-mother's diamond ring was missing and she accused this girl of stealing her ring. This girl went to a pillayar temple and prayed to Lord Ganesha that she will prove herself as innocent and find the ring. So she started saying her prayers to Lord Ganesha, by removing one thread a day from her cotton saree for 21 days. She promised to the God that, when she proves her innocence, she will make the number of threads she has on that day as
