About Achi murukku

Achi Murukku is a traditional South Indian snack, deeply rooted in Tamil Nadu cuisine. Crafted from rice flour, coconut milk, sesame seeds, and a touch of salt, this crispy treat is expertly shaped using intricately designed molds. Typically deep-fried in oil until golden, Achi Murukku is a common festive snack, celebrated for its delicate texture and subtle coconut flavor. While it provides quick energy due to its carbohydrate content, its deep-frying process contributes to a higher fat profile, making moderation key for health-conscious individuals. The inclusion of sesame seeds offers a modest nutrient boost, supplying calcium, magnesium, and healthy fats. While not particularly rich in fiber or protein, its simplicity and cultural significance make Achi Murukku a favorite indulgence during special occasions. Opting for healthier preparation methods or pairing it with nutrient-rich accompaniments can enhance its nutritional balance.
