grind Roasted chana dal in a mixie to make a fine powder and sieve it.

grind 1/2 cup chopped onions into a fine paste in  a mixie or blender.

Method

• Mix  Rice flour, roasted chana dal powder,chilli powder,butter,salt and ground onion paste into a fine dough with needed water.

• In Mean while, heat the oil.[To check whether oil is hot, put a small piece of dough into an oil, when it pops out immediately,it is an indication that oil is hot].

• When the oil is hot, keep it in a moderate flame. Take murukku(jantikalu) press, use a  star shape plate. fill it half with dough we prepared.press it in a circular motion.fry the murukku(jantikalu) on both sides,till it turns golden brown colour.Drain it and place it in a absorbent paper.

• Repeat the cycle for remaining dough.Then place it in a air tight contianer.

Note

• consistency should be like soft chapati dough,should  not too hard or soft, if  dough is hard, murukku will be hard, if it is so soft, it may absorb oil.
• if u you use large quantity of flour, divide the dough into equal portions to prepare the dough.In this measurement also, you can  mix all the ingredients and divide it into equal portion. take one portion mix it with water to prepare a dough. After preparing the murukku, prepare dough for other part of flour, else  murukku will turn red colour,while frying.

• I used big onion,you can also use pearl onions.
