About Chakri
Chakri, also known as Murukku in South India, is a savory snack popular in Indian cuisine. Originating from Gujarat and Maharashtra, it is traditionally made with a mix of rice flour, gram flour (besan), and spices like cumin and sesame seeds, shaped into spirals, and deep-fried until crispy. Its crunchy texture and flavorful seasoning make it a favorite tea-time treat during festivals like Diwali. Chakri is rich in carbohydrates and provides energy, but its deep-frying process makes it high in calories and fats, which should be consumed in moderation. Some variations include baked versions that reduce the fat content. While it’s not nutritionally dense, the use of spices like cumin and sesame seeds may offer anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Chakri is best enjoyed as an occasional indulgence rather than a regular snack to balance its taste with mindful eating practices.
