Muruku (Round), also known as Chakralu in Andhra or Murukku in Tamil Nadu, is a timeless Indian snack cherished for its crisp texture and unique spiral shape. Prepared with a blend of rice flour, urad dal flour, sesame seeds, cumin, and a hint of spices, the dough is carefully twisted into circular patterns before frying to perfection. The result is a crunchy, savory delight that pairs wonderfully with hot beverages and is often enjoyed during festivals like Diwali, Sankranti, and other celebrations. Its intricate round design makes it not just a snack, but also a festive specialty symbolizing tradition, joy, and togetherness.
