WHAT IS KURKURE?

Kurkure is a brand of corn puffs produced and developed in india. Available in almost 21 flavours in india & different shapes, kurkure is one of the favourite snack of children.

Even a youngest kid, who can’t even pronounce the words properly, must be knowing about this leading snack after chips.

METHODS OF MAKING KURKURE AT HOME

If you surf on internet, you will find variety of methods and ingredients used in making kurkure.

Undoubtly they all are fabolous but some of the recipes are bit complicated for us, because they used the ingredients not easily available in our city.

In addition, few were supposed to be dried first under the sun. This too wasn’t feasiable to us for certain reasons.

PRESENT RECIPE & SOURCE

Recently we get to see the recipe of kurkure shared by famous chef Ms. Nisha Madhulika.

She made it using so regular ingredients and in such a simple way that one can make kurkure on daily basis. Hence, this recipe is inspired from the youtube channel of Ms. Nisha Madhulika.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRESENT RECIPE & SOURCED RECIPE

Not even an iota of change is made in making this recipe. Right from ingredients to measurements to method, everything is same.

Yes, we have done one thing additional. We baked few of the pieces of kurkure which is not done in original recipe.

In original recipe, kurkure are made by only deep frying. We too have deep fried kurkure but a portion is baked too.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BAKED & FRIED KURKURE

This is hard to reply because kurkure made by both ways were so fantastic that difference can’t be identified. But still we will try to find out few :

1. Fried kurkure took less time in getting ready than the baked one. Where one batch of fried kurkure gets ready in 10 – 12 minutes, baking took almost 40 minutes.
2. This is obvious that fried kurkure had lots of oil whereas baked kurkure asked for only few drops of oil.
3. Frying kurkure needs little care and precautions. Moisture present in the dough causes hot oil to splitter. You need to take proper precautions. the details of which is given further in the recipe. But do keep in mind, don’t allow the children to be around while you are frying kurkure. On the other hand, there’s no such issues with the baking process.
4. If we talk in terms of taste & texture, then we must say that it was hard to identity which are the fried and which are the baked one. No difference at all.

Hence we are left with only 3 differences & 4th point above can’t be read as part of difference.

Choice is yours. Choose the mode most suitable to you.

STORAGE OF KURKURE

Homemade Kurkure can be stored for up to a month in an airtight container. But transfer them into container only once they turn completely cool otherwise they will turn soggy.

Step wise pictorial method of Homemade kurkure recipe

MAKING OF KURKURE

1. Grind poha into a very fine powder and take out in a bowl.
2. Mix besan with powdered poha.
3. Pour water in a pan and also add salt in it.
4. When water begins to boil, switch off the heat.
5. Add besan poha mixture in water gradually and keep mixing. It will look like a lumpsy dough.
6. Cover the pan with a lid just for 5 minutes.
7. After the said time, take out the lumpsy dough in a bowl.
8. Add corn flour in it and knead into a normal dough. Do grease your hands before kneading the dough. Remember, don’t add additional water for kneading. If finding difficulty in binding the dough, again grease your hands with oil and it works.
9. Now take a small pinch of dough and roll it round between your palms.
10. Further roll it again into a long string giving it a shape of kurkure as shown in picture below.
11. Likewise make such shape out of the entire dough.

METHOD 1 : DEEP FRYING

1. Put the kurkure shaped dough pieces into oil for frying. Keep the heat to medium and oil should also be medium hot.
2. Only put as much pieces as much the pan can accommodate.
3. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW that the hot oil may splash forcebly while frying kurkure pieces, so precautions are mandatory. Do keep the children away.
4. While frying, hold a lid like a shield and cover the pan partially so that oil splashes shouldn’t jump over towards your side. If the oil splits, it will hit the lid only and go back to pan itself. To understand it in a proper way, do watch the video given in this post.
5. After couple of minutes, when you realise that oil has settled down & is not splitting around, you can proceed ahead without the shield of lid.
6. Once pieces turn slightly golden, take them out in a sieve so that extra oil releases.
7. Your deep fried kurkure are ready.

METHOD 2 : BAKING

1. Switch on the oven for pre-heating @160℃ for 10 minutes with both the rods on.
2. Grease a baking tin and arrange kurkure pieces on it.
3. Brush the pieces too with oil.
4. Put the tray in the middle rack of oven and bake @160℃ for 30-35 minutes with both the rods on.
5. After 35 minutes, shift the tray to top rack of oven and bake @230℃ for 3 to 4 minutes with only top rod on. This is very important to keep eyes inside oven during this time otherwise kurkure may burn.
6. Take them out of oven and let them cool.
7. Your baked kurkure are ready.

SEASONING OF KURKURE

1. Mix red chilli powder and chaat masala together.
2. Sprinkle it on kurkure and mix well.
3. Kurkure are finally and completely ready.

Enjoy.

NOTES

1. As kurkure are kids favourite, how much red chilli needs to be added is at your own choice.
2. Prefer to use kashmiri red chilli powder only because it is less spicy and more colourful.
