Jelabi (kugan)
JELABI
Ingredients:
2 cups All Purpose Flour
1-1/2 tbsp Rice flour
1/4th tsp Baking powder
2 tbsp Curd
3 cups Sugar
2-1/2 cups Water
1/2 tsp Cardamom (powdered)
Ghee or Vegetable oil for frying
How to make Jelabi
Mix the flour, rice flour, baking powder, curd in a bowl.
Mix well, add water and whisk until smooth.
Set aside for about 3 hours to ferment.
Whisk thoroughly before use.
Prepare one string syrup by dissolving sugar in the water.
Just before the syrup is ready add cardamom powder.
Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan
Pour the batter in a steady stream into the pan to form coils
I used a cleaned coconut shell with one hole.
Make 2 or 3 at a time.
Deep fry them until they are golden and crisp all over but not brown.
Remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper and immerse in the sugar syrup.
Leave for at least 4-5 minutes so that they soak the syrup.
Take them out of syrup and serve hot.
Jelabi is ready.

Achu Murukku With Eggs (kugan)
[tscii]
ACHU MURUKKU WITH EGGS
Ingredients:
500 grms rice flour (not fried or steamed)
250 grms sugar little more or less
200 grms corn flour
2 eggs
A wee bit salt
Oil
Enough coconut mik 1st and 2nd milk
The moulds to make achu murukku
Method:
In a container mix the flours, salt , sugar and eggs
Add enough milk to make a batter, a little
Thinner than dosa batter.
Heat oil in a wok. Put the moulds in the oil to become slightly hot.
Dip the the mould ¾ in the batter.
The batter will stick to the mould.
Hold the mould fully immersed in oil for a second.
The murkku will leave the mould when it is little cooked.
Fry till is brown and crisp and remove.
Do not have a very high heat.
The important thing is if the mould is very hot the flour will cling
To the mould and will fall back in the batter.
If the mould is not hot enough, the flour will not cling to the mould.
DO NOT DIP THE WHOLE MOULD FULLY IN THE BATTER
ONLY ¾ OF THE MOULD.
As you make the murukku, the batter will become a bit thick.
You can add little milk or water to get the right consistency.
With practice you can make perfect achu murukkus.
