Muruku (also spelled Murukku or Murkoo), is a savoury snack popular in India, or among ethnic Indian populations. It is typically made from a mixture of urad and rice flour, salt, and flavourings such as chilly and cumin. The mixture is made into a batter, stuffed into a hand-grip press and manually pressed, once the batter flows out from the hand-grip press, it is formed into a spiral or coil, and then fried to a crispy biscuit. Muruku is traditionally enjoyed as a treat on the Deepavali holidays.
I love snacking on it. Mommy has given up introducing me to more healhty snacks like cereals or dried fruits or organic biscuits. Nothing is comparable or even beat Muruku. Heh! Heh!
Oh well, Mommy buys my muruku from this Indian man of Indian origin, so i hope the muruku he prepares is also of authentic taste and not influenced by the local palate here or worst still some mass production business who employs Indian migrants to push their business :O
Ahh ... just enjoy the muruku la - don't even know how long that muruku seller is staying :P
