Murukku maavu

“Murukku Maavu” refers to the flour used to make murukku, a popular South Indian savory snack. This flour is typically made from a combination of rice flour, urad dal flour (black gram flour), and spices such as cumin seeds, sesame seeds, and salt. The flour mixture is then kneaded into a dough with water or butter, shaped using a murukku press into intricate patterns, and deep-fried until crispy. Murukku maavu is known for its crunchy texture and flavorful taste, making it a favorite snack during festivals and special occasions in South India.
