Chips & All Are Great, But Murukku Is The Good Old Snack We Truly Crave

Akanksha Bhatia

If you grew up in the southern part of India, this one snack must have been a staple in your house. The magical murukku! Made from flour, chana dala and (this is my favourite kind), a whole lot of butter.

Crunchy goodness on the outside, and a melt-in-your-mouth texture on the inside, murukku is what snacking dreams are made of.

For me, they bring back those memories of sunny days, sand and running outside with a packet of murukku in our hands. 

It is easily so much better than popcorn and chicken nuggets or whatever mainstream snack you can think of – ideal for any scenario. It will hurt your gums sometimes, sure, but these spirals of goodness are worth the pain.

For those of you who don’t know what a crisp springy roll of murukku tastes like, I pity you. But you can fix this, go to your closest Andra Bhavan and give this a shot.

P.S. I personally love pairing them with a cup of filter coffee, one of my favourite childhood memories.
