To begin making the Thenkuzhal Murukku Recipe, first heat the oil in a wok/kadhai.
In a mixing bowl add the flours, cumin seeds, hing, salt and mix everything well.
Add little water and mix with the flours. Add more water and mix till you get a firm dough.
Put a portion of the dough in the Thenkuzhal press. Keep the rest of the dough covered.
Apply a little pressure on the handles and swirl the press to make a rough circle.
Gently slide the Thenkuzhal in hot oil and fry on low to medium flame till it becomes crisp and light brown in colour.
Once done take it out with a slotted spoon and drain on an absorbent paper.
Repeat for the rest of the dough. For the last 1-2 tablespoons of the batter, which cannot be pressed make small balls and deep fry them in a deep fry pan.
Cool and store in an airtight container.
