Janthikalu

Janthikalu, also known as Murukku, is a popular South Indian snack that is loved for its crispiness, unique spiral shape, and flavorful blend of spices. This savory treat is often prepared during festivals, celebrations, and as a delightful accompaniment to tea or coffee. The main ingredients in Janthikalu include rice flour, urad dal flour (black gram flour), besan (gram flour), cumin seeds, sesame seeds, asafoetida, and salt. The combination of these ingredients forms a dough that is then shaped into spiral or coil-like patterns using a special Murukku press or mold. The dough is carefully extruded through the mold and deep-fried until golden brown. The deep-frying process imparts a satisfying crunch to the Janthikalu while ensuring an even distribution of flavors. The addition of cumin seeds and sesame seeds contributes to the snack’s aromatic and nutty profile.
