What is Murukku?
Murukku is a savoury, spiral-shaped snack originating in South India, made primarily from rice flour, urad dal flour, butter, and cumin or sesame seeds. It is deep-fried and eaten as a tea-time snack or festival food across Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Sri Lanka.
There are 3 main types of murukku EverJoy Foods produces:
- Classic Murukku — rice flour and urad dal, seasoned with cumin and sesame
- Tomato Murukku — the classic base infused with tomato and chilli for a tangy-spicy flavour
- Butter Murukku — a softer, richer variant made with extra butter content
Tomato Murukku
Tomato murukku is a flavoured variation of classic murukku, made by adding tomato paste and red chilli powder to the rice flour dough before frying. To buy tomato murukku, select the “Tomato” flavour option when ordering below.
Why EverJoy Foods Murukku Is Different
EverJoy Foods traces its murukku recipe to Nithyanandha Bhavan, a food business founded in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in the 1940s. The name Nithyanandha Bhavan means “a house that is always happy.” The recipe has been carried through three generations of the same family, now brought online to reach anyone who grew up on these snacks and now lives away from home. EverJoy Foods murukku is made in small batches, using the original family proportions of rice flour to urad dal, without shortcuts.
How EverJoy Foods Murukku Is Made
- Rice flour and urad dal flour are mixed in the traditional 3:1 ratio.
- Butter, cumin seeds, and salt are kneaded into the dough by hand.
- The dough is pressed through a murukku achu (press) into spiral shapes.
- Each spiral is deep-fried in small batches until golden.
- Murukku is cooled and packed within the same day to preserve crispness.
