About Muruku
Muruku is a popular Indian snack with roots in South Indian cuisine. Made primarily from rice flour and urad dal (black gram) flour, this crunchy treat is flavored with spices like chili powder, cumin, and asafoetida, then deep-fried to create its distinctive spiral shape and crispy texture. While Muruku is rich in flavor and tradition, it is also calorie-dense due to its preparation in oil, making moderation key for those watching fat intake. The black gram flour contributes protein and fiber, while rice flour provides carbohydrates for energy. Additionally, some spices used in Muruku, such as asafoetida and cumin, may aid digestion. Homemade versions can offer a healthier alternative by using fresher ingredients and less oil. Muruku is often enjoyed during festive occasions and as a tea-time snack, celebrated for its irresistible crunch and mouthwatering taste.
