How to Choose the Best Non-Stick Achu Murukku / Rose Cookie Mould for Home Use

Achu Murukku – also known as Rose Cookies or Achappam – is a festive South Indian delicacy loved for its delicate, flower-like shape and crisp texture. But let’s be honest — making the perfect achu murukku at home is as much about the right mould as it is about the recipe.

If you've struggled with murukkus sticking to the mould, breaking apart, or cooking unevenly, you're not alone. The key to success lies in choosing the right non-stick achu murukku mould — one that ensures smooth release, consistent shape, and safe, comfortable handling.

In this guide, we’ll break down exactly what to look for and introduce you to a top-performing mould available right here on FourBrothers.in.

Why the Right Achu Murukku Mould Matters

Achu murukku is made by dipping a heated mould into batter and frying it until the cookie releases and becomes golden brown. A poor-quality or uncoated mould often causes:

• Batter to stick stubbornly to the mould
• Cookies to break or lose their shape
• Difficulty removing the murukku without damage
• Extra effort during cleaning

That’s why choosing a non-stick coated mould — with the right design, handle, and heat resistance — is critical.

Key Features to Look for in a Non-Stick Achu Murukku Mould

When selecting the best rose cookie mould for your kitchen, pay attention to the following factors:

1. Non-Stick Coating Quality

The coating is the heart of your mould. Look for:

• Food-grade, PFOA-free non-stick coating
• Even surface for smooth release
• Durability: Multi-layer coating resists scratches and wear
• Easy to clean after use

Recommended: FourBrothers Non-Stick Achu Murukku Mould is designed with a high-quality non-stick surface to ensure perfect cookie release and minimal mess.

2. Material of the Mould Base

The base metal determines heat distribution and lifespan.

• Aluminium: Lightweight, quick heating — ideal for home use
• Stainless Steel: More durable, corrosion-resistant
• Cast Iron / Mild Steel: Traditional but heavier and requires seasoning

The FourBrothers mould is crafted with a premium-grade aluminium base for optimal heat transfer, ensuring uniform cooking.

3. Mould Design & Shape

The classic rose cookie design should have:

• Crisp, defined petals for visual appeal
• Balanced depth to hold batter without trapping excess
• Smooth edges for clean release

The flower design on our Non-Stick Mould is optimized for traditional Achappam, making it easier to shape and fry without batter clinging to edges.

4. Handle Type & Safety

Since the mould will be dipped into hot oil repeatedly, a safe and ergonomic handle is crucial:

• Long rod handle for safety from oil splashes
• Heat-resistant grip
• Strong welding between rod and mould

The FourBrothers mould includes a well-insulated handle that stays cool and is long enough for deep frying with ease.

5. Ease of Use for Beginners

If you’re new to rose cookie making, you'll want a mould that:

• Is lightweight and easy to manoeuvre
• Releases cookies without tapping or prying
• Works well even with small batch frying

Our Non-Stick Achu Murukku Mould is ideal for beginners, thanks to its lightweight frame and smooth non-stick surface. Just heat, dip, and fry — it's that simple.

Bonus Tips: Making the Perfect Achu Murukku

Even with a great mould, a few extra tips can help:

Preheat Your Mould

Before dipping into batter, make sure the mould is hot. This helps the batter stick properly.

Batter Consistency

Too thick = won’t stick. Too runny = won’t release. A medium-thick batter made with rice flour and coconut milk works best.

Don’t Dip Too Deep

Only dip the mould ¾ of the way into the batter — never fully. This prevents over-coating and helps the cookie slip off.

Oil Temperature Matters

Oil that’s too hot or too cold will ruin the shape. Aim for a medium-high steady temperature (~180–190°C).

Clean with Care

Let the mould cool, then wash with mild soap and a soft sponge. Avoid metal scrubbers to preserve the non-stick coating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can I use this mould on an induction cooktop?

No. The mould is used for deep-frying in oil and isn’t designed for direct use on induction or stovetops. Heat it in the oil-filled frying pan as part of the recipe.

Q2: How long does the non-stick coating last?

With proper care (no abrasives, gentle cleaning, correct oil use), the coating can last several years.

Q3: Is this mould safe for beginners?

Absolutely. The FourBrothers mould is lightweight and easy to handle, making it perfect for first-time murukku makers.

Q4: Can I use it for other snacks?

While designed for rose cookies, creative cooks also use it for savoury murukku, flavoured crisps, and even mini sweet fritters.

Final Thoughts: Invest in Quality, Enjoy the Tradition

Rose cookies are more than a snack — they’re a piece of festive tradition. Whether you're preparing for Diwali, Christmas, or a family celebration, investing in a high-quality mould like the FourBrothers Non-Stick Achu Murukku Mould makes all the difference.
