About Murukku
Murukku is a traditional Indian snack made primarily from rice flour and urad dal flour, seasoned with spices like cumin, sesame seeds, or ajwain. Originating in southern India, this crispy, coil-shaped treat is a popular tea-time snack and a festive favorite during celebrations like Diwali. Murukku is typically deep-fried, giving it a crunchy texture and rich flavor. While the use of lentil flour provides a source of protein and dietary fiber, its preparation with oil makes it high in calories and fat. Moderation is key if you're watching your fat intake. Variations can include healthier alternatives like baking instead of frying, but traditionally, murukku is a fun indulgence enjoyed for its taste and satisfying crunch rather than as a nutrition-focused food.
