3. Now comes the fun part you need a Muruku mold to make this, There are different attachments comes with a murukku maker (just like the food processor attachment). I’ve used the single star attachment to make this murukku but you can use three star to make a different shape.
4. Now take a small amount of dough and put it in the maker and close the maker
5. Heat oil in a pan when its hot enough to deep fry.Add murukku one by one by the pressing the mould and slowly rotate the maker into a circle shape till you form a medium sized spirals.
