Sugar-1/2 cup

(I used the tin)
Water- 1/2 cup
Jeera / cumin-1/2 tsp
Salt- a pinch
Oil-to fry

Method
Mix all above ingredients together in a bowl.
Beat it with a fork or whisk to get a smooth batter,consistency should be little thicker than a dosa batter.
Heat oil in a pan/kadai,dip the Achu murukku mould into the oil.Wait till it gets well heated.
Now slowly dip it in the batter (dip it only 3/4th of the mould).
Take the mould from the batter and dip into hot oil.Do not touch the bottom of the kadai they may stick.
After a few seconds slightly shake the mould so that the Achu murukku separates from the mould.
Fry both sides on a medium heat till light golden brown.
Remove it on a paper towel,cool completely & store it in an air tight container.
Note:
a) Each time you make the achu murukku,dip the mould into the hot oil once well heated then dip it in batter.
b) Instead of jeera you can use black sesame seeds.
c) Fry the achu murukku in medium flame.
d) If you murukku doesn't come out easily from the mould if shaken,then use a knife to release it from the mould.
