Tape Karasu

This tape karasu or murukulu  is a crunchy snack and tastes delicious. We can prepare them as an evening snack for kids and can be stored in air tight containers. My mother used to make these in a large scale during holidays. Kids used to munch them in between their play times. These can be shared with relatives and friends during festival times along with some delicious sweets. Lets see how to make them.

Ingredients
  • Rice flour                                    3 cups
  • Putna powder                              1 cup
  • Hing                                             pinch
  • Red chilli powder                        1/4 tbsp
  • Sesame                                        3 tbsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for deep fry
How to prepare
  1. Mix both the flours, hing, salt, red mirchi powder, sesame and 2 tbsp of  hot oil and required water.
  2. Make it soft dough. Knead well.
  3. Take murukula gottam and fix the tape karasu plate.
  4. Take wide pan and add required oil for deep fry.
  5. To check oil is enough hot to fry. Drop small ball of prepared dough. It raises on the surface of the oil.
  6. Fill the prepared dough inside murukula gottam.
  7. Turn the stove to slow and press it directly into hot oil into circular mode. Then set the flame to medium.
  8. When tapes started turning into light brown, flip it and fry.
  9. See that both sides fried well.
  10. Use slotted ladle and remove tape karasu and drain on paper napkin.
  11. Repeat the same process for the remaining dough also.
When it cools keep it in the air tight tin.



My Note

You can add little vamu also in the flour. This is good for the tummy.
This can be stored and had even as tea time snack also with a cup of garam chai.
