Seasoning :
Cummin seeds - 1 tsp
Sesame - 1 tsp

Method :
1. Wash the rice , soak for 2 hrs or so then drain rice and shade dry for 1/2 hr of until it has very little moisture. Then powder it.
2. Roast the urad dhal to light brown and powder it.
3. Mix both flours add all other seasoning and butter. Parallely heat oil in the vessel.
4. Divide the powder into 2 equal parts for first part add the water slowly and make softer dough.
5. Put the dough murukku maker press directly over the oil cook over the medium flame, turn over other side till slightly color changes. Drain to the tissue paper. And store in the Air tight container.
