Murukku

Murukku is a crispy and flavorful South Indian snack made from a mixture of rice flour and urad dal (black gram) flour, seasoned with spices like cumin or sesame seeds. The dough is shaped into intricate spirals or coils using a special press and then deep-fried to golden perfection. Its name, derived from the Tamil word for “twisted,” reflects its unique shape. Murukku is light, crunchy, and mildly spiced, making it a perfect tea-time companion or festive treat. Loved for its delightful crunch and savory taste, Murukku is a timeless snack that brings joy with every bite.
