About Spiced murukku
Spiced Murukku is a crispy and savory snack originating from South Indian cuisine. Made primarily from rice flour, gram flour, and a blend of spices such as cumin, asafoetida, and chili powder, this deep-fried treat delivers a delightful crunch with every bite. Its spiral shape is crafted using a special press, showcasing traditional artistry in Indian cooking. While Murukku is rich in flavor and provides quick energy due to its carbohydrate content, its deep-fried nature makes it calorie-dense and higher in fat. It contains minimal amounts of protein and fiber, making it more of an indulgent treat than a health food. For a healthier twist, baked versions are becoming increasingly popular, reducing fat content while retaining its characteristic crunch. Best enjoyed in moderation, Spiced Murukku is perfect for festive occasions, tea-time snacks, or to satisfy cravings for something crispy and flavorful.
