Butter - 2 tablespoon

METHOD:

1. In a bowl, melt butter. Add red chilli powder,salt,asafoetida powder and mix well.

2. Then add gram flour,rice flour and mix well. Add water and prepare the dough. The dough should be little loose in consistency when compared to rotti dough. Add water accordingly. You can take some dough and press it on a plate and see. If you can press it without much effort, then it is at the correct consistency. 

3. Heat oil, in a pan. Prepare your murukku maker. Grease the inside of the maker with little oil.

4. Press the machine directly over the oil and make circular tape murukku. Be careful, to hold the machine tight when doing so.Once it changes color, turn it other side and cook the same way.
