Ragi Murukku is a traditional South Indian snack known for its crunchy texture and delightful flavor. This version of murukku is made with a special blend where millets, particularly ragi (finger millet), constitute 60% of the mix. The remaining ingredients include besan (chickpea flour), rice flour, fried gram flour, salt, ajwain (carom seeds), and hing (asafoetida), all combined to create a wholesome and nutritious snack.
The use of cold-pressed sunflower oil for frying adds a healthful touch, ensuring that the murukku retains its traditional taste while being a healthier option. This oil enhances the flavor without compromising the nutritional benefits of the ingredients.
Ragi Murukku is not only a treat for the taste buds but also a source of essential nutrients. The inclusion of ragi brings in a good amount of calcium, iron, and dietary fiber, making it a perfect snack for both adults and children. Its crispiness and savory taste make it an ideal companion for tea time or as a light snack anytime during the day.
