Combine rice flour, urad dal flour, chili powder, cumin seeds, sesame seeds, asafoetida, and salt in a mixing bowl.

Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until hot.

Fill a murukku maker with the dough.

Press the dough into spirals directly into the hot oil, forming circular shapes.

Fry the murukku until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Remove the fried murukku and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Repeat the process with the remaining dough.

Allow to cool completely before serving.
