About Rice flour murukku

Rice Flour Murukku, a crispy and savory snack, hails from South Indian cuisine and is widely enjoyed during festivals and celebrations. Made primarily from rice flour, it is often blended with urad dal flour, butter or ghee, asafoetida, sesame seeds, and spices to form a dough that is shaped into spirals and deep-fried to golden perfection. This snack offers a gluten-free option for those with dietary restrictions, thanks to its rice base. While Murukku is rich in flavor and has complex carbohydrates from rice, its frying process increases calorie and fat content, making moderation key for those watching their fat intake. It is free from added sugars, allowing it to fit into savory snack categories, but consuming it fresh is important to minimize oil retention. Rice Flour Murukku is a delicious treat that combines tradition and taste, while reminding us of the balance needed for healthier indulgence.
