About Fish murukku

Fish Murukku is a savory snack rooted in South Indian cuisine, offering a unique twist to the traditional murukku by incorporating fish paste into the dough. Made from a blend of rice flour, gram flour, and freshly ground fish, this crispy treat is seasoned with aromatic spices like cumin, chili powder, and turmeric for a rich, flavorful profile. It is typically deep-fried, which gives it a crunchy texture and golden color. While Fish Murukku provides some nutritional benefits from the protein in the fish, its high oil content from frying contributes to elevated fat and calorie levels, making moderation key. It's a popular choice during festivals or as a teatime snack, blending cultural heritage with a taste of the sea.
