butter murukku recipe is a popular South Indian savory snack. Learn how to make butter murukku recipe | butter chakli | South Indian butter murukku | benne chakli | venna murukku |

Our Indian cuisine abounds with varieties of jar snacks which add sparkle to a cup of tea or coffee!

One such gem from the South Indian repertoire is butter murukku, a melt-in-the-mouth savoury snack made with a dough of rice flour, urad flour, besan and butter. A dash of whole spices like cumin and sesame contribute to the aroma and flavour of the butter murukku, increasing its irresistibility quotient.

When pressing the butter murukku through a chakli maker, make sure you press it directly into the oil.

Also, ensure that you fry small batches of butter chakli at a time without overcrowding the oil, which tends to make the dough clump together.

You can also try other recipes like Bajra Chakli and Nutritious Chaklis.

Pro tips for butter murukku. 1. Combine all the ingredients and knead into a soft dough. If the dough is too soft then butter chaklis will absorb a lot of oil while frying so, ensure you add water slowly. 2. Grease a chakli mould with oil and place a star shaped plate in the chakli press. This will prevent the dough from sticking to the mold. 3. Do not touch the butter murukkus immediately after dropping in oil, once they are cooked from one side, gently flip them and cook them till crisp and golden from the other side. 4. Cool and serve the benne chakli or store in an air-tight container upto 15 days.

  1. To prepare butter Murukku recipe | butter chakli | South Indian butter Murukku | benne chakli | venna murukku |  divide the dough into 2 equal portions.
  2. Grease a chakli mould with oil and place a star shaped plate in the chakli press. This will prevent the dough from sticking to the mold.
  3. Take a portion of the dough and press it into a greased chakli “press” and cover it with the lid. Meanwhile keep the other dough portion covered to avoid it from drying.
  4. For frying butter murukku, heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan. To check if the oil is properly hot at the right temperature, drop a small dough piece in the oil. If it comes on top immediately then the oil is very hot. If it comes on top after a long time then the oil is not hot enough. If it comes on top after a few seconds, then the oil is ready to fry the chakli.
  5. Press holding the chakli maker directly on top of the oil and let the murukku directly fall in the hot oil. Hold the murukku press, safe high enough to avoid hot oil from splattering  on your fingers. As strands are starting to fall into the oil, slowly move machine to form a single layer. Multiple layers will yield uncooked chakli. After a single layer, stop there and reverse the handle a bit to stop the chakli from coming out. Also, holding the chakli press while squeezing above the hot oil in an angle lets the murukku break by itself easily. When you press and if its too tight to press then your dough is very stiff in consistency so punch the dough, add a little water and knead it again and when you press and get a long continuous line, it means there is more fat in the dough so, simply add a little rice flour and knead it again to get the right consistency.
  6. Do not over crowd the deep non-stick pan with a lot of murukku and deep-fry them on a medium flame till they turn golden brown. Do not touch the butter murukkus immediately after dropping, once they are cooked from one side, gently flip them and cook them till crisp and golden from the other side.
  7. Turn them over and cook them evenly from all sides, carefully remove them when the sizzle in the oil stops and drain butter murukku on absorbent paper.
  8. Cool and serve the butter Murukku \ | butter chakli | South Indian butter Murukku | benne chakli | venna murukku |  or store in an air-tight container.
