How to Prepare Murukku: Crispy Indian Rice and Lentil Flour Snack [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Combine urad flour, rice flour, sesame seeds, red chili powder, cumin, and salt.
Whisk the ingredients well.
Add the melted coconut oil and just enough water to make a smooth dough.
Heat enough oil in a pan for deep frying the janthikalu.
Lightly spray and get the janthikalu mold ready. When the oil is hot enough, take a piece of the dough and place it in the mold, press it directly into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes on medium flame or until the janthikalu is golden brown on one side. Gently flip it and fry it for another 1-2 minutes on the second side.
Remove it with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel-lined plate.
Repeat this with the remaining dough.

Notes

Store the janthikalu in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks.
