Add red chilli powder, cumin seeds, asafoetida powder and seasome seeds to the dough. Knead it well with your hands. If want you can add few drops of oil. Make small balls out of the dough. Take a ball and roll it out and make small logs ( see the pic ) Bring two sides together and stick them together, unless it may break while frying. Repeat the same process with remaining dough. Heat oil in a frying pan. When the oil is hot enough, drop the murukku in batches. Don’t over crowd. Turn the flame to medium- high and deep fry both sides till they are golden brown and crisp. Drain it in a tissue paper. Ring murukku’s are ready..
