Kai Murukku (Chakli)

Kai Murukku, literally translating to "hand-rolled," embodies the essence of traditional South Indian cooking. The dough for this South Indian chakli is kneaded for a long time, once stiff enough, it is piped into spiral patterns. 

Rice flour provides for a nice texture, while urad dal flour adds a touch of earthiness. Cumin seeds and butter have a warm depth of flavour, and a sprinkle of salt ties everything together, creating irresistible, savoury notes.

What’s even more special about the chakli/ kai murukku?

In South India, it is also a well-liked offering at religious events and celebrations especially during the time of Diwali. It is often a non-negotiable in the Return Gifts for occasions like weddings, baby showers, and housewarmings in South India.

Kai murukku has been around in Tamil Nadu since the 8th century. Some even take years to perfect the twist, because the shape, colour, and crunch all depend on the maker’s kai pakkuvam (the magic in the hands). 

So, Paati says you can always tell the mood of the person who made it just by one bite. So she twists each murukku by hand, the way it has always been done.

If you try eating this secretly, you’ll be caught because the crunch is just too loud.
