ACHUMURUKKU

1 c. oil  (for frying)                  5 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 c. rice flour                       3/4 c. milk or coconut milk
1/2 c. all purpose flour

Utensil needed: Rosette iron. Mix the flours, sugar and milk to make the batter. Over medium heat, heat the oil in a fry pan. When the oil is well heated, fix any pattern you want on the rosette iron. Dip the iron into the hot oil and then dip the iron halfway into the batter to get the coating. Take iron out and dip the iron into the hot oil. Achumurukku will pop out of the iron. In case it does not pop out from the iron, using the tip of a knife, loosen the batter coating from the iron. Achumurukku turns into golden color in about a few seconds. Turn it over for the other side to be deep fried. It takes only a few seconds for both sides to be deep fried. Take it out using a fork. You can make only one at a time, but it goes fast. Achumurukku will be crisp if it is being kept in an airtight container .Makes 42 achumurukkus.
