Chef's Notes
Treat your dough like royalty. If it feels too dry while pressing, don't panicโjust knead in a tiny whisper of water to restore its cooperation.
Pro Tip
Pipe your circular coils onto small squares of parchment paper first. It makes transferring them into the hot oil an absolute breeze without burning your fingers!
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
You crank the murukku press with the fury of a medieval siege engine, only for the heavy iron lid to blow off and launch a ballistic missile of raw dough directly onto your living room ceiling fan.
