Put all above ingredients in a bowl except oil.Add the melted butter & mix it till it forms crumbs.
Pour water little by little & make a soft dough.
Heat oil in a pan,take some dough & fill it into the murukku mould , press directly into the hot oil.
In medium high flame deep fry them till light brown colour and crisp , place it on a kitchen towel to remove excess oil if any.
Cool completely before storing it in a air tight container.

Note:

a) If using whole urad dal then dry roast & powder the flour.Then sieve & use the fine flour while making murukku.
b) Always keep the dough covered with a wet cloth or plate to avoid drying.
c) Some use the ration as rice 4 cups & urad flour-1 cup.
d) This murukku is usually white so do not over fry & loose the colour
