Preparation:

• Wash and soak raw rice in water for 2 hours.
• Drain it and pat in a cotton cloth to absorb excess water in it.
• After that put it in a blender and make fine powder out of it.
• Boil 1 1/2 cup of water by adding ghee and salt.
• When it boils add rice powder and mix well. Switch off the flame. (allow to cool little).
• Dry roast urad dal for a minute in low flame (add hing piece along with it if you are not using hing powder). Put it in a blender, make a fine powder.
• Add these urad dal powder,  chilly powder, cumin seed and  sesame seeds to the rice flour and make a smooth dough out of it.
• Now took small portion  (half the size of lemon) from the dough and roll it in your hands like a thin stripe.

• Heat oil in a pan, when the oil is hot make the flame to medium, add a batch of ring murukku and fry it until well done. (the frying temperature is very important for the texture of good murukku. If not fried well, the murukku become soft and not crispy, if you are frying in high temperature, then the inner side didn't cooked well and become soft for the next day.)
