Poondu Muruku

Poondu Muruku is a flavorful South Indian snack made with garlic (poondu) as the key ingredient, giving it a distinct and aromatic taste. Garlic is known for its strong, savory flavor, which infuses the dough, making the muruku spicy and aromatic. The dough is typically prepared from rice flour, seasoned with garlic, cumin, sesame seeds, and other spices like red chili powder and asafoetida. It is then shaped into spirals or rings and deep-fried until golden and crispy.

The unique combination of garlic and spices creates a crunchy, savory treat that is perfect for snacking. Poondu Muruku is especially popular during festivals, family gatherings, and as an accompaniment to tea.
