Kodubale Recipe | Ring Murukku Recipe | Spicy Kodbale with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Perhaps one of the most popular underrated snack recipes of Karnataka cuisine. Even though this spicy delicacy hails from Karnataka, it is popular in other states as ring murukku or crispy rings. Traditionally, this spicy kodbale is prepared during festival season with chakli or murukku, but it can also be prepared for daily evening snacks.

I frequently prepare chakli and Kodubale recipes, but somehow, I missed sharing them on my blog with a video. Moreover, my snack dabba (box) requires a refill with some traditional snacks. Previously, I used to buy a few snacks and mix them with homemade ones. But recently, I stopped it after learning about the high sodium content and preservatives. I even prepared a similar version with wholegrain atta, which tastes fantastic. I will try to share it soon, but it’s time for an authentic South Indian double recipe.

Furthermore, I would like to highlight a few variations of the authentic Kodubale recipe. Firstly, if you prefer a more crispy kodbale recipe, add 2-4 tbsp of extra rice flour to the dough. But make sure not to add more, as it may turn hard and brittle. Secondly, the other variation is to add coarse Putani or roasted chana dhal to make it even more tasty. Also, by adding Putani, the Kodubale would be softer and crisper. Lastly, the other version involves steaming the maida or all-purpose flour before mixing it with the dough.

How to Make Kodubale with Step-by-step Photos

1. Firstly, in a large mixing bowl, take ½ cup rice flour.
   
2. Also, add in ¼ cup rava and ½ cup maida.
   
3. Additionally, add ½ tsp ajwain, hing and salt to taste.
   
4. Combine well, making sure everything mixes well.
   
5. Furthermore, pour 2 tbsp of hot oil. This helps to give extra crunchiness to kodubale.
   
6. Mix with the spoon, as the oil will be too hot.
   
7. Furthermore, crumble the flour well with oil. Keep aside.
   
8. Meanwhile, prepare the masala by taking ¼ cup of coconut in a blender.
   
9. Also, add ½ tsp jeera and five whole red chillies.
   
10. Blend to smooth paste, adding water as required.
    
11. Now, transfer the prepared masala paste over the flour.
    
12. Knead the dough well adding water if required.
    
13. Knead to smooth and soft dough as chapati dough.
    
14. Furthermore, pinch a dough ball and press & knead again 5 times.
    
15. Also, roll gently to form a thick and long rope. If you cannot roll, add a tsp of more maida and knead the dough.
    
16. Cut the rope approximately 2 inches in length.
    
17. And join the edges to form a circle.
    
18. Now, deep fry the module in hot oil in batches. Do not overcrowd the module, as it takes a long time to cook.
    
19. Fry the kodubale on a medium flame, ensuring they are cooked thoroughly.
    
20. Fry the kodubale till it turns golden brown and crisp. It takes around 6 minutes.
    
21. Drain off onto a piece of kitchen paper to remove excess oil.
    
22. Finally, enjoy double or store it in an airtight container for 10-15 days once it’s cooled completely.
    

Notes

• Firstly, the spicy ring murukku will turn soggy if the dough is too soft.
• Also, adding hot oil to the flour gives a nice crispiness to the murukku.
• Most noteworthy, do not make the dough too soft, as it absorbs oil, and the hard dough will be too hard to bite.
• Finally, don’t add water to the whole mix if you make it in large quantities. Instead, add water in batches to prevent double from turning soggy.
