Benne muruku is almost like, must to do savory snack during deepavali from the state of Karnataka, of which everyone is a great fan
Benne means butter and muruku literally means pieces. It is said so because though benne muruku looks exactly like chakkuli/chakli a spiral shaped savory snack from Karnataka, but it is not made in spiral shape, but made in pieces… which is the reason for it’s name.
It is light, crunchy and yummy in taste. A great accompaniment with meals or breakfast. Nobody can stop at one or two pieces I guarantee – such is its reputation !
