Manapparai Murukku

Description

If there is one murukku that needs no introduction across Tamil Nadu, it is the Manapparai Murukku. Famous enough to earn a Geographical Indication tag, this iconic snack from the Manapparai town near Trichy is defined by its distinct recipe — rice flour blended with melted butter, omam (carom seeds) for digestion, black sesame seeds for texture, and a subtle hint of asafoetida for depth. The result is a murukku that is extraordinarily crisp, uniformly light, and deeply flavourful. A box of Manapparai Murukku is the one thing every visitor from Trichy is expected to bring back.
