Muruku and Indian savory snacks



It is not surprising. The snack I was talking about in my last post on Deepavali lunch is Muruku. This is a popular savory snack in India. YESsssss! Savory is good for me! I just love the crunchiness and cumin aroma.


I don't know the name for this. Some kind of crunchy fried flour with peanuts and curry leaf. Someone....pleeeaaaasssee...tell me the name...

    I also dun know the name leh. Like u, sometimes i also eat something (and love it) but dun know what is the name. To the taste buds, knowing the name is less critical than the taste. ;p

    I think it's called sev..there is different variety of it, but the general name for it, *I believe* is sev. I can't wait when we go to India next month - I will stuff myself silly with snacks!!

    OOH! Now I know what I can ask my mother to bring me from Singapore when she visits! I like the 2nd snack you posted too.. that one's tasty. I can eat it ALL day.

    I also like the ones that come with the tiny, puffed up orange and green fried bits. I think they may have lentils in them too. YUMMY.

    Maruku~~
    Mmmm I wanna give it a try,
    Everytime I see boxes of Indian snacks in the supermarket,
    I'm always hesitated to grab one home..
    I had a very bad experience before..
    But since it's your recommendation,
    I shall give it a try!
