Kunukku

Posted by anusha247 on June 1, 2010

I love this one snack my mother makes. It’s easy to make and delicious to eat.

Ingredients:

Raw rice(Pacharisi) – 1 cup

Channa dal(Kadalai Paruppu) – 1/2 cup

Toor dal(Thuvaram Paruppu) – 1/2 cup

Urad dal(Ulutham Paruppu) – 1 tbsp

Red chillies(Vatha milagai) – 4

Asafoetida(Perungaya Podi) – 1/4 tsp

Curry leaves(Karuveppilai) – 6 or 7

Salt(Uppu) – to taste

Oil(Ennai) – For deep frying

Procedure:

1. Soak rice, dal and chillies together for 3-4 hours.

2. Grind them with asafoetida and salt adding very little water to a fine batter. Add the curry leaves to the
batter and mix.

3. Take a palm of the batter, push it with the back of the thumb one by one in oil and deep fry.

Kunukku is an easy-to-make snack and needs no accompaniments. The raw rice makes it crisp outside and
the dals together give a soft bite. This is made during navarathri to break the monotony of sundals.

This was my entry to mygrandmasrecipe in the Metro Plus weekend edition of the Hindu. It was published
last weekend.
