Bellam Kommulu Recipe | Sweet Murukulu with Jaggery (Step-by-Step)

Bellam Kommulu, also known as Sweet Murukulu, is a traditional South Indian snack made with rice flour and jaggery. It is crispy, mildly sweet, and commonly prepared during festivals and special occasions.

Ingredients

  • Rice flour – 2 cups

  • Jaggery (Bellam) – 1 cup (grated or crushed)

  • Water – ½ cup (for jaggery syrup)

  • Sesame seeds (Nuvvulu) – 1 tablespoon

  • Cumin seeds (optional) – 1 teaspoon

  • Cardamom powder – ½ teaspoon

  • Salt – a pinch

  • Cooking oil – for deep frying

Step-by-Step Preparation

Step 1: Prepare Jaggery Syrup

  1. Add jaggery and water to a pan.

  2. Heat on medium flame until the jaggery melts completely.

  3. Strain the syrup to remove impurities.

  4. Boil again until it reaches a sticky but pourable consistency.

  5. Turn off the flame and let it cool slightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

  1. Take rice flour in a mixing bowl.

  2. Add sesame seeds, cumin seeds, cardamom powder, and a pinch of salt.

  3. Mix well.

  4. Slowly pour the warm jaggery syrup into the flour.

  5. Mix and knead into a soft, smooth dough.

    • The dough should not be too tight or too loose.

Step 3: Shape the Kommulu

  1. Grease your palms lightly with oil.

  2. Take a small portion of dough.

  3. Roll it into thin finger-length sticks or coil shapes (traditional kommulu style).

  4. Place them on a plate.

Step 4: Fry the Bellam Kommulu

  1. Heat oil in a deep frying pan on medium flame.

  2. Once oil is hot, gently drop a few kommulu into the oil.

  3. Fry on medium-low flame, stirring occasionally.

  4. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy.

  5. Remove and place on paper towel to drain excess oil.

Serving & Storage

  • Allow the Bellam Kommulu to cool completely.

  • Store in an airtight container.

  • Stays fresh for up to 10–15 days.

Tips for Perfect Sweet Murukulu

  • Always fry on medium-low flame to avoid burning jaggery.

  • If dough cracks, add a little warm water or jaggery syrup.

  • Use fine rice flour for crispy texture.
