1 tsp. rice flour                       oil for frying

Utensils: Bottom part of murukku shooter, with plate with medium sized holes.

Combine flours, salt and water to make batter. Heat oil over medium heat. Attach plate with medium holes to shooter. Holding bottom of shooter over oil, pour the batter into oil, moving the shooter at the same time so that batter lands in different places. When batter touches oil it will turn into round small pebbles. Turn them over with slotted spoon. Drain oil and mix red pepper power.

P.S. Karaboonthi mixed with yogurt makes a good side dish.
