Sri Lankan Mung Kavum

This too was a first for me but it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be.

Here's the recipe

2 cups of mung flour (you can make this at home or purchase mung flour at any Indian grocery store. To make flour at home, purchase mung dhal, roast it in a pan, and grind until fine. If purchasing mung flour, be sure to roast that in a wok before using for the kavum)
1/2 cup of rice flour
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup water

Batter
1 egg
1/2 can of coconut milk
1/2 cup of rice flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp turmeric

4 cups oil for frying

For the mung paste...

Sift mung flour and rice flour together. Place in kitchen-aid mixing bowl with dough hook. Start boiling the sugar to make a sugar syrup. Take off heat. Start the Kitchen Aid at level 2 and slowly start adding the sugar syrup to make a doughy mixture. The consistency should be close to bread dough. Once the syrup is mixed well with the flour, place the mixture in a flat cookie sheet and either roll it out or flatten it out until it is about 1/4" thick. Cut into diamond shaped pieces.

Make batter by combining the batter ingredients. Heat the 4 cups of oil over medium heat for 10 minutes. Dip the mung diamonds in the batter and drop in to hot oil to begin frying. Fry for 2 - 3 minutes or until they look done. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Let cool and enjoy!
