Murukku is a deep-fried round spiral shaped snack from South India. This traditional savoury delicacy is made with three different flours such as rice flour, urad dal flour and pottukadalai flour (roasted gram flour), some spices and sesame seeds. The three flours are mixed with spices and kneaded into a dough. The dough is shaped into spiral or coil shapes either by hand or by using a mould.

The spiral murukku is then deep-fried till golden brown. The crispy, crunchy Murukku is a great anytime, on-the-go snack.
