  5. Mix the flour with the coconut milk till you a get a thick batter and add salt to taste.
  6. Now heat the oil till its hot, dip the mold in it till its heated at least for 15 seconds. Then immediately dip the mold in the batter so that 3/4th of mold is immersed in the batter. Make sure the batter sticks around the mold, covering 3/4 part of it.
  7. Now carefully dip the mold in preheated oil. Leave for few seconds. Make sure to dip the mold in preheated oil each time before dipping it into the batter.
  8. Then slightly shake the mold for the murukku to drop of from the mold. If it doesn’t come out, use a fork to pull it out. Fry it till it turns into a slightly gold yellowish colour.
