About Fish muruku

Fish Muruku is a crunchy snack originating from South Indian and Sri Lankan cuisines, combining tradition with a twist. Made from a blend of rice flour, fish paste, spices, and aromatic herbs, this savory treat is shaped into intricate coils and deep-fried to perfection. The inclusion of fish boosts its protein content, making it a more nutrient-dense alternative to standard Muruku. Rich in flavor, it offers omega-3 fats from the fish, which support heart and brain health. However, due to its deep-fried preparation, Fish Muruku is high in oil and calories, so moderation is key for those mindful of fat intake. Its unique fusion of textures and flavors makes it a popular snack, often enjoyed during festive occasions or as a crunchy accompaniment to tea.
